Suppliers will take rectification measures if they fail the assessment, and those who still assessed to be unqualified after multiple rectifications will be removed from the list of qualified suppliers.

• Supplier evaluation and assessment: annual assessment is conducted, during which various indicators are evaluated, with a focus on supplier profitability, product quality, governance structure, service awareness, sustainable development, corporate reputation, performance capability, etc. Suppliers assessed to be unqualified shall be removed from the list.
