Supplier Survey

The Company selects suppliers in accordance with the Government Procurement Act. In addition, the following documents set forth the procedures and requirements applicable to suppliers undertaking information service projects for TIPC: (IS-TW-02-009) System Development and Maintenance Procedure Manual, (IS-TW-03-005) System Development and Maintenance Work Instructions, (IS-TW-02-010) Outsourcing Management Procedure Manual, and the Outsourcing Information Security Terms. For information on information security management requirements for outsourced vendors, please refer to 2025 ESG Report Section 3.1.2, Information Security Risk Management.

Based on the 2025 ESG Supplier Survey, which covered suppliers with an annual procurement value exceeding NT$5 million, TIPC’s supplier base consisted primarily of service providers (52.7%) and engineering contractors (41.2%). In accordance with its Occupational Safety and Health Policy, the Company has established clear requirements and procedures for suppliers and contractors and has incorporated its Occupational Safety and Health Management Requirements for Contractors into contracts to ensure compliance through contract administration. The relevant procurement procedures are outlined below. For details on occupational safety and health management practices and performance, please refer to 2025 ESG Report Section 5.1, Occupational Health and Safety Management.

Supplier Evaluation

For information security management assessments, TIPC conducts annual cybersecurity audits of its information service suppliers through on-site inspections or document reviews to verify compliance with the Company’s cybersecurity standards. As part of its contract performance management process, TIPC requires suppliers to provide evidence of their professional cybersecurity capabilities, relevant test reports, or supporting security documentation in accordance with the terms and conditions governing outsourced information security.

In addition, as part of its ESG evaluation efforts, TIPC distributed the “Supplier ESG Self-Assessment Questionnaire” to suppliers with annual procurement amounts of NT$5 million or more. The questionnaire covers five key areas: environmental protection, labor practices, labor rights, business ethics, and product responsibility. In 2025, a total of 130 questionnaires were returned. Among the respondents, 85 suppliers received an A rating, and the overall pass rate was 100%. The assessment results have been incorporated into subsequent supplier management and evaluation processes as an important reference.

Supplier Selection

For information security management, TIPC conducts annual cybersecurity audits of its information service suppliers. Through on-site inspections or document reviews, the Company verifies suppliers’ compliance with its cybersecurity requirements. As part of its contract management process, TIPC also verifies that information service providers submit the required evidence of cybersecurity expertise, relevant test reports, and other required cybersecurity documentation in accordance with contractual information security requirements.

TIPC selects suppliers in accordance with the Government Procurement Act. If a supplier is found to have violated Article 101 of the Government Procurement Act, the supplier will be notified in accordance with applicable regulations and may file an objection in accordance with the prescribed procedures. Where applicable, the supplier will be listed in the Government Procurement Gazette and prohibited from participating in government procurement tenders for a specified period. According to statistics published by the Public Construction Commission, no TIPC suppliers were found to have violated Article 101 of the Government Procurement Act in 2025.

To protect labor rights and prevent forced labor and discrimination, the Company incorporates requirements under the Labor Standards Act, the People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act, and the Indigenous Peoples Employment Rights Protection Act into its procurement contracts. These contracts require contractors to refrain from discriminating against vulnerable groups and strictly prohibit child labor, the employment of undocumented foreign workers, human trafficking, and other improper employment practices. In 2025, no cases of child labor, forced labor, or compulsory overtime were identified.

In alignment with the Ministry of Labor’s policy goal to “expand social investment and reduce family burdens,” the Company requires suppliers of dispatched and contracted labor to comply with applicable labor laws and regulations. The Company continuously monitors supplier compliance, avoids engaging suppliers that violate applicable requirements, and strengthens protections for non-standard workers. For detailed information on non-employee workers, please refer to the “Friendly Interactive Information” section of 2025 ESG Report Section 6.1.1, Talent Attraction and Retention, on the TIPC Sustainability website.

Contractor Deficiency Improvement Mechanism

To strengthen construction quality management and reduce deficiencies, the Company has established an Action Plan for Improving Construction Quality and Reducing Deficiency Rates, along with related supervision and audit mechanisms for engineering contractors. These mechanisms cover construction quality, occupational safety and health, air pollution prevention and control, and other environmental and safety management matters associated with high-risk operations. When deficiencies are identified, the responsible unit follows up on corrective actions and requires contractors to rectify the deficiencies, provide supporting documentation, and implement corrective and preventive measures. For recurring or major deficiencies, the Company promotes continuous improvement through statistical analysis, education and training, demerit systems, and penalties.

In addition, pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Management Guidelines for Contractors, contractors are required to appoint dedicated occupational safety and health personnel to be stationed on-site and to conduct hazard identification, risk assessments, self-inspections, and safety and health checkpoint management. Contractors are also subject to scheduled and unscheduled inspections and audits. Where significant hazards or major deficiencies are identified, work must be suspended immediately until corrective actions have been completed. Safety and health performance is also taken into account in subsequent contractor management and evaluations.

In 2025, all engineering projects subject to the Company’s supervision and audit mechanisms received a rating of Grade B or above.

Priority Procurement and Green Procurement

TIPC conducts procurement with both new and existing suppliers in accordance with the Government Procurement Act and Article 69 of the People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act. Under its priority procurement program, the Company gives priority to products and services provided by welfare institutions, organizations, and sheltered workshops for persons with disabilities, with a target of more than 10% of its annual procurement amount. In 2025, the Company’s priority procurement ratio reached 35.83%.

In 2025, TIPC had a total of 771 suppliers, with total procurement amounting to NT$110,033,392,094. Domestic procurement amounted to NT$81,950,505,950, accounting for approximately 74.48% of total procurement. TIPC also had six foreign suppliers, primarily from France, the United Kingdom, and Malaysia.

As TIPC’s commercial ports operate under the landlord port model, procurement primarily focuses on port development and construction projects. Priority is given to domestic suppliers to support local industries. Foreign suppliers participating in TIPC procurement must comply with applicable treaties or agreements entered into by Taiwan and are generally engaged when domestic products are unavailable, lack competitiveness, are comparatively expensive, fail to meet required specifications, or when domestic production technologies are not sufficiently mature and imports are therefore necessary.

TIPC also seeks to reduce the carbon footprint of its projects and support the government’s circular economy policy. Where project design permits, recycled materials are used to the greatest extent practicable. In 2025, designated green procurement items achieved a 100% compliance rate, demonstrating the Company’s full implementation of green procurement principles.
