GIGABYTE attaches great importance to producer responsibility to society and the environment. We do not support or tolerate any upstream partner that violates human rights and environmental well-being. Besides, by means of continually strengthening employee care, process safety, and environmental management measures on the front line, we insist on ensuring that the products and services to be provided to consumers and customers are safe, environmental-friendly, and of high quality. As for the demand side, GIGABYTE will also restrict or cease business with the third party until and unless we have high confidence that our products are not being used to violate human rights.

In 2005, GIGABYTE became the worldʼs first system brand manufacturer to pass IECQ QC 080000 standard certification, ensuring consumers use products that are safe and environmentally friendly. Every quarter, GIGABYTEʼs Green Sustainable Development Committee reports on trends in international environmental regulations, such as REACH, RoHS, and POPs, to stay abreast of changes in international standards and promptly initiate cross-departmental response plans to ensure products comply with the latest regulations.

To effectively track and manage the products and services it procures in accordance with the principle of “reducing the use of substances harmful to the environment,” GIGABYTE established the “Harmful Chemical Substances Requirements (HCSR)” as early as 2003. This framework classifies substances into three levels: Level A (prohibited), Level B (phased out within a specified timeframe), and Level C (potentially prohibited).This enables systematic management of high-risk substances and the development of response plans based on hazard levels. The company has also updated the prohibited chemical list in the “GIGABYTE Sustainable Procurement Guidelines,” requiring all suppliers to comply with relevant regulations to rapidly phase out prohibited substances.

In response to the international marketʼs emphasis on sustainable raw materials, GIGABYTE further revised the “Guidelines for the Management of Harmful Chemical Substances and Sustainable Materials Requirements” in 2025 and added a “Sustainable Development Chapter.” Through a clear guidance framework, the company collaborates with supplier partners to reduce, from the source, the potential impact of product components on the environment and human rights, thereby strengthening the practice of responsible procurement. In 2025, we conducted one training session on hazardous substances management for the Group. Additionally, dedicated hazardous substances management personnel participated in relevant training courses on an ad hoc basis, completing a total of eight specialized training sessions with a cumulative attendance of 118 participants.
