  Supplier Evaluation  
    Supplier Audit and Assistance  
    Longchen P&P has been treating suppliers as partners and is devoted to leading suppliers towards long-term partnership in order to jointly create a sustainable supply chain with steady developments. In order to reinforce the overall competitive advantages of the supply chain, Longchen P&P has created the management system for five major quality assurance operations, including (1) procurement regulations (2) contractor evaluation (3) centralized procurement (4) inclusion acceptance (5) use acceptance.  
       
    The Company conducts periodic supplier evaluation, which covers the supplier’s quality, price cost, service level, environment protection, work safety and health, and technology, etc. Audit results are evaluated by three classes, A, B, and C. The Company only does business with Class A suppliers to ensure the quality standard of upstream suppliers. In 2019, the ratio for selecting new suppliers using environment standards is 100%. To ensure that suppliers meet labor regulations of the local government, if the suppliers in violation of labor regulations are discovered during the audit, limited period will be given for improvement; if not improved, then they will be listed as unqualified companies.
