The main uses of water in Quanta Computer's R&D center and production facilities in Taiwan, China, and Thailand are for general household use, air conditioning, and kitchen use. The main source of water supply is tap water, without the use of groundwater, stored rainwater, or surface water, which has no significant impact on the water source. The wastewater produced is domestic wastewater, and the water usage in 2023 was 2,296.65 million liters.
Quanta Computer's R&D center and production facilities in Taiwan, China, and Thailand are not located in areas with high or extremely high baseline water stress.

Project

Plant

Quanta

Quanta has no high-risk factories, and in 2022, the QC1, QC2, and QC3 plants in Taiwan, as well as the Thailand plant, implemented an external validated audit process (VAP). The Thailand plant performed VAP for the first time due to its recent establishment, and any deficiencies were addressed and improved after subsequent closure audit verifications, with no prioritized findings. All these factories have received Silver certification, and all deficiencies have been 100% improved. The validity period is two years, and it is anticipated that VAP will be conducted again in 2024.

All information can be queried on the RBA-Online platform, accounting for 40% of the overall audit.

Tier 1 supplier

As per the RBA Code of Conduct, Quanta manages CSR for all suppliers, including requiring all suppliers to sign the "Quanta Supplier RBA Code of Conduct Compliance Statement" and conducting risk assessments annually. For higher-risk suppliers, CSR on-site audits are conducted.
In 2023, a total of 50 supplier audits were completed, and 31 service providers were audited, with the main shortcomings being working hours, no forced labor, wages, and benefits. Improvement plans have been requested from suppliers, and their progress is being tracked.
