We give priority to suppliers with excellent sustainable development performance in order to prevent or minimise potential environmental and social risks in the Group’s supply chain. In addition to complying with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations, the Group’s suppliers are required to comply with the Group’s Code of Conduct for corporate social responsibilities (“CSR”) and convey our concept of sustainable development to upstream suppliers. To identify the environmental and social risks along the supply chain, the Company’s subsidiaries have established a complete organizational framework of supply chain management, responsible for resource development, supplier performance appraisal, supplier sustainable development ability evaluation, supplier qualification approval and other related work. In combination with QC 080000 hazardous substance management system standard and relevant requirements of customers, we have formulated a number of supplier management policies such as the Procedures for Management Control of Suppliers (《供应商管理控制程序》), the Code of Managing Suppliers (《供应商管理规范》) and the Control Procedures on Development and Appraisal of Suppliers (《供应商开发和评价控制程序》), etc., so as to establish comprehensive management regulations and operational processes such as supplier introduction, routine management, audit and evaluation, and removal.

 
To identify environmental and social risks along the supply chain, each subsidiary of the Group conducts a hierarchical management on suppliers according to the importance or the risk level of materials. Sunny Automotive Optech has formulated the supplier supervision plan according to the Rules for Annual Audit of Suppliers (《供应商年度审核规划》), and conducts annual audit on the suppliers providing direct components of the products. The audit covers the supplier’s whole production process, including the quality management system, RoHS management standards ,ESG management and other relevant contents. Purchasing practices towards suppliers are continuously reviewed to ensure alignment with the Supplier Code of Conduct and to avoid potential conflicts with ESG requirements;Suppliers are regularly monitored in accordance with the Supplier Monitoring Form; Requiring suppliers that failed to meet the provisions to complete the improvement workwithin three months according to the Supplier’s Deficiency Improvement Schedule (《供应商缺失改进计划表》). The Group has also developed a supplier removal mechanism. Suppliers will be removed from the list if they have serious quality problems or the materials used fail to meet the latest environmental protection requirements with no effective improvement measures.
