Responsible Supply Chain
Starting from the product life cycle, the company continuously develops innovative capabilities such as green design and green production to reduce environmental impact and fulfill carbon reduction commitments.
Primax Group's hazardous substance management efforts are guided by International Electrotechnical Commission's IECQ HSPM QC 080000 standards (Electrical and Electronic Components and Products Hazardous Substance Process Management System Requirements), and we have obtain a third-party verification certificate, as per which we duly manage hazardous substances in products. training. All production sites of the Group are equipped with chemical laboratories and instruments of equivalent grade as the ones used by third-party examiners. These laboratories enable the Company to analyze and manage hazardous substances. If any toxic substance is detected within products, steps will be taken immediate to reduce and eliminate them from design, or explore safer, alternative sources of supply.
Since 2020 , Primax Group has been prioritizing the procurement of information products with large purchasing quantities (such as computers, monitors, multifunction printers, and printers) and high-energy-consuming products like refrigerators, water dispensers, and ice machines. Our priority is to select products that carry domestic or international environmental certifications or energy-saving labels (such as EPEAT, Eco label, Energy Star, TCO, Blue Angel,etc.).
All new Primax suppliers are required to pass QCDS+SER (Quality, Cost, Delivery, and Service&SER, QCDS) assessment before business.
Since 2012 , Primax has strictly complied with the "Conflict Mineral Law" and refrained from using and purchasing conflict minerals (such as: tantalum, tin, gold, and tungsten)that originate from Democratic Republic of the Congo, while at the same time demanded all suppliers to make a commitment to using responsible minerals and ensure that all minerals(such as: tantalum, tin, gold, and tungsten) used in production will not finance armed conflicts. In addition, with the rapid growth of the electric vehicle industry, the scope of applications of rechargeable batteries is also expanding. Therefore, Primax Group has also required suppliers to disclose the use of cobalt ore since 2020 . During the survey process, we refer to the list of 3 TG qualified smelters formulated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and require suppliers to work with RMI-certificated smelters.
Primax conducts systematic audit procedures for suppliers using critical materials, focusing on environmental, social, and other risk aspects to manage supplier operational capabilities. It also implements comprehensive hazardous substance management procedures to ensure the safe use of critical materials. Additionally, a well-established inventory mechanism for critical materials is in place to mitigate the risk of supply chain disruption.
