Sustainable Raw Materials
USI is committed to sustainable raw materials sourcing practices through detoxification, decarbonization, and dematerialization while avoiding human rights infringements.
We recognize that establishing transparent and responsible raw materials management in the supply chain is pivotal for avoiding operational disruptions due to critical raw material scarcity, mitigating negative impacts on the environment and society, and preserving resource sustainability. This Sustainable Raw Materials Policy is thus ratified and endorsed by the Board of Directors.
USI follows its sustainable raw materials policy to tracking and collecting data about the sources of raw materials and upstream suppliers, risk assessment, and carry out coordinated actions. For detailed procedures, please refer to the relevant Management Measures. And we collected information on all new mass-produced products in 2025 that comply with the WEEE reporting requirements, to compile statistics for Material Usage and Recycling Ratio in Products.
We design green products that meet global regulations based on the four aspects of Green Product Eco-design and introduced a professional green value chain management platform Green Parts Aggregations & Reporting System (GPARS) and Green Parts (GP) database to manage the materials we use in our products and whether they meet the latest relevant requirements that include but are not limited to Hazardous Substance Free (HSF), RoHS, REACH, USI Green Environmental Protection Products Requirements and conduct a reasonable degree of investigation on the country of origin of the minerals and assess their priority as sustainable raw materials.
Our suppliers must provide Environmental Hazard Non-Use Declaration, material composition tables and verification reports, all raw materials are 100% in line with sustainable risk assessment results, including human rights, climate, biological and other factors to ensure that the purchased parts and materials are 100% in compliance with company specifications. The trend toward green products is inevitable. Industries could face upcoming challenges only by establishing a long-lasting sustainable green supply chain, our management process as detailed in the Sustainable Supply Chain section.
GPARS System
To made stakeholders further aware of the importance of environment protection and applied the correct environmental concepts to various steps in production process (i.e., the product planning, raw material control and GHG emission reduction). We keep communicating with employees, suppliers and contractors regarding our net zero carbon emissions target, EHS-associated principles, knowledge, and requirements. The e-learning courses on sustainable green production train employees in R&D, procurement, and quality control departments on GP-related regulations, requirements, procedures, and eco-friendly materials. In 2025, all facilities implemented 13,168 lessons (6,347 hours).
