GIGABYTE introduced ISO 9001 certification in 1998, and in 2005 was the first system brand manufacturer to receive IECQ QC 080000 certification. To reduce the use of environmentally hazardous substances and to provide products that are safe for consumers and comply with international regulations and customersʼ requirements, we developed a “GIGABYTE Harmful Chemical Substance Regulations (HCSR)” for all products and services the Company purchases. GIGABYTE is also certified according to IATF 16949 Automotive Quality Management System Standard for manufacturing automotive parts and equipment.

GIGABYTE has introduced ISO14001 certification since 1998 to ensure the Companyʼs operations and products comply with environmental standards and an effective environmental management system that aims at pollution prevention and clean production. Moreover, to cope with global climate change concerns, GIGABYTE has conducted ISO 14064 organizational greenhouse gas inventories since 2010. Initially, the reporting boundary included scope 1 and 2 emissions from the operation headquarters, Nanping Factory in Taoyuan, and Dongguan Factory and Ningbo Factory in China. However, since 2021, GIGABYTEʼs Taipei Silicon Valley offices, where subsidiaries Bestyield International, G-Style, and Selita Precision, as well as sub-subsidiary GIGAIPC are located, and scope 3 emissions of the GIGABYTE group have been included in this boundary as a result of standards revisions and new regulations.

For occupational safety and health management that affect employees directly, GIGABYTE obtains verification for ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. Furthermore, we adopt a people-centric approach and exceed statutory requirements in developing multiple measures to protect and promote the health and safety of employees. Voluntary internal inspections and third-party verification are also adopted to develop more comprehensive management mechanisms and initiatives that better meet employee needs.

GIGABYTE obtained PAS 2050 certification in 2010 for its MD-300 digital set-top box in order to inventory the environmental impacts throughout the productʼs lifecycle. This paved the way for the development of green products in the future. As global resources become increasingly scarce, GIGABYTE also introduced the ISO 14051 standard at its Nanping factory to examine the companyʼs environmental impact during production. With the result, we were able to reduce energy and material consumption while simultaneously creating economic benefits.

GIGABYTE has introduced the Safety Certified Quality Enterprise (AEO) standard since 2011, establishes a supply chain safety management system to ensure the safety and quality of goods in the supply chain, and actively complies with laws and regulations as well as meets the safety requirements from customs and customers.
