The global industry is concerned with environmental issues. Therefore, when consumers consider their product use, they also take into account their impact on the environment and possible permanent harm that they might cause. This forces vendors to employ low-pollution production and low-hazard products. To enter and drive the green consumer product market, ECS chooses suppliers with green qualifications and uses a supplier management system during the entire production process. The company has established a supplier selection and evaluation mechanism to efficiently control the green supply chain products and requires suppliers to obtain IECQ QC080000 certification. This certification proves that the suppliers internal departments have a sound hazardous materials management system so that they can provide customers with superior components. The suppliers must also reveal that their products comply with the RoHS and WEEE environmental directives: ECS only purchases green components that are supplied by chosen, qualified green suppliers and only uses green products in the production process. By carrying out an onsite management and inspection system with all suppliers, ECS is able to establish a quick and complete supply program through its green suppliers.
ECS Conflict Minerals Policy
ECS have requested all suppliers to fulfill social environmental responsibility and international justice, not to accept the conflictminerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its adjacent countries for products manufacturing. Those conflict minerals include Au, Ta, Sn, W, Co and Mica, ECS’s suppliers must investigate and trace the origins of conflict minerals used (including smelters) and implement the responsible minerals due diligence procedures from the due diligence framework in the OECD guidance and the fully protection of human rights. Expecting those minerals do come from smelters RBI verified to ensure they are not "conflict minerals" related, and asks all suppliers should impose the same requirement on their upstream suppliers simultaneously.
