Acer Corporate Responsibility Report 2009 It’s Time for Supply Chain Management It's Time for Supply Chain Management We at Acer regard our suppliers as part of our greater corporate family. We give clear directives to our suppliers regarding social and environmental issues such as green manufacturing and labor rights to keep them on the cutting edge, and hold regular audits and meetings to support their capacity building and ensure that our directives are being followed. In the future we expect to work even more closely together with our suppliers to solve social and environmental problems and create a sustainable supply chain. How Acer's Supply Network Works Acer's current first tier suppliers fall into four major categories based on the nature of the product or service that they supply: ODM/OEM, key components, logistics, and services. The number and names of the suppliers in our network change every year as circumstances dictate. In 2009, Asian suppliers made up the highest proportion, and with the addition of our Smart Handheld Business Group a number of new suppliers have joined the Acer family. Acer holds the Supplier Conference for CSR in the third quarter of each year, which remains one of the main forums for us to communicate with our suppliers. The conference is also the time when we announce the corporate targets and plans that we expect our suppliers to meet, which is in line with international practice. At our 2009 conference we asked all of our first tier suppliers to sign Acer Supplier Code of Conduct Declaration. By signing the declaration our first tier suppliers have acknowledged that they understand our code of conduct, have committed themselves and their own suppliers to abiding by it, and have also agreed to give us any relevant information that we may ask for. We will continue to communicate and cooperate with our suppliers and act as a bridge between them and other stakeholders in order to bring the collective strength of Acer's supply chain to bear on social and environmental issues. 39
