"ASUS has established a grading system to identify and manage suppliers, based on assessed levels of risk.

For suppliers identified as high risk, ASUS conducts on-site audits executed by third-party organizations and/or by ASUS auditors. These audits seek to ensure enforcement of the ASUS Supply Chain Code of Conduct. If necessary, auditors help develop plans to help suppliers meet all requirements to be in full compliance. All audit results are publicized in quarterly business review reports in order to provide management units with information that may affect procurement strategy."

"To help in this effort, ASUS has joined the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) in order to collaborate with other companies to collectively standardize social responsibility practices and enforcement."

"Information is not sufficient."
