83 At the same time, individual business units develop tailored green procurement and sustainable supply chain management practices based on their specific operational characteristics and procurement needs, thereby enhancing the relevance and practicability of such measures. For example, Kendor Company prioritises suppliers that are able to provide documentation such as Certificates of Analysis (COA), certification materials and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) during the supplier selection process, in order to strengthen upstream control over product quality, safety and compliance. Meanwhile, the Inner Mongolia operations integrate green engineering and corporate social responsibility principles into supplier management and procurement practices, further promoting the implementation of environmental protection, resource conservation and compliance requirements across the supply chain. In practice, the Group encourages suppliers to reduce environmental impacts at source by adopting energy-saving, water-saving, waste reduction and pollution control measures in their production and operational processes, and to properly manage chemicals and waste in accordance with regulatory requirements, thereby minimising potential impacts on the surrounding environment and ecosystems. At the same time, the Group encourages suppliers, where feasible, to adopt more environmentally friendly raw materials, packaging materials and process solutions, gradually enhancing the overall level of green development across the supply chain. Looking ahead, The United Laboratories will continue to integrate Group-level policy requirements with the specific practices of individual business units, further strengthening the development of a green supply chain. It will work with more suppliers to enhance environmental management capabilities and sustainability performance, achieving source traceability, shared responsibility and green collaboration, and thereby laying a more solid supply chain foundation for the Group’s long-term development. Summary of Sustainable Procurement Policy We ensure the quality of procured products and services and strengthen communication with suppliers. Where feasible, we provide feedback on their social and environmental performance. We strive to select and utilise suppliers' products and services in a manner that minimises adverse impacts on society and the environment, thereby contributing to social well-being. We choose suppliers who can effectively utilise resources and implement robust supplier management systems to address environmental and social risks. Throughout our collaboration with suppliers, we adhere to ethical standards and responsible codes of conduct, seeking to establish long-term relationships based on trust and cooperation. We procure and use more energy-efficient products and services that support sustainable procurement practices. We are committed to enhancing suppliers' awareness of sustainable procurement and encouraging innovation by widely adopting new technologies and designs.
