Having a sustainable supply chain is one of the fundamental factors for ensuring long-term business growth. Based on the principles of openness, fairness and good faith, Tencent has formulated the Tencent Supplier Management Policy to provide standardised management of suppliers by implementing a strict control mechanism for the process of finding suppliers, verification, information maintenance, selection, engagement, and evaluation. Tencent requires all suppliers to sign the Anti-Commercial Bribery Declaration , which outlines the procurement code of ethics and the scope of cooperation with suppliers.
The Group Procurement Department requires suppliers to sign the Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment, which encourages suppliers to adopt internationally recognised industry standards and benchmark best practices. With the Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment, we ensure a safe supply chain where workers are treated with respect and dignity; and companies are responsible for environmental protection and compliance with the code of ethics during their business operations.
