Ta Ya's integrity and transparency won Chunghwa Telecom Supplier CSR Disclosure Award

       On December 11, Chunghwa Telecom held a "CSR Supplier Conference" to commend suppliers that exhibited outstanding CSR performance. Ta Ya Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. has been long committed to CSR issues. Its exceptional performance in Chunghwa Telecom's supplier self assessment questionnaire was rewarded with the CSR Disclosure Award, making it the only supplier in the wires and cables category to win this award.

       President Mu-Piao Shih of Chunghwa Telecom attended the conference personally to present this award, and the award was received by Vice President Chuang Po-Kuei of Energy and Telecom Communication Cable Business Group on behalf of Ta Ya. President Shih said during his speech: "Chunhwa Telecom had won Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) - "Supply Chain Management Award" mainly because of the cooperation and support of all its suppliers. In light of the government's tightened CSR requirements, Chunghwa Telecom will continue working with suppliers to ensure compliance."

       Vice President Chuang thanked Chunghwa Telecom for the commendation and said: "Ta Ya is proud to be one of Chunghwa Telecom's top-performing suppliers when the CSR award first began in 2013. In the immediate year after the award, Ta Ya also became one of the first suppliers to participate in Chunghwa Telecom's trial audit program." Not only had Ta Ya made full information disclosure to its customers, the company was ranked among the top 20% during the First Corporate Governance Evaluation held this year, which was a testament to the Company's emphasis on integrity and transparency.

       With regards to the topic on information disclosure and stakeholder communication, the organizer invited Materials Management Division head Ke Zhongjie from TSMC, Technology Director Stephen Pao from SGS, and Supply Division Vice President Zheng Minggang from Chunghwa Telecom to engage in discussions. Vice President Zheng said: "For the purpose of supplier CSR management, the company will definitely be making changes to its lowest tender decision policy in the future. Meanwhile, the company will continue to rely on its dual audit system to improve suppliers' CSR knowledge and management performance, especially small and medium sized enterprises."
