Giga Computing views its suppliers as long-term partners. To promote sustainable management across the supply chain, Giga Computing incorporates ESG considerations alongside essential criteria such as competitive quality, technology, delivery, and cost. In 2024, we revised the "Integrity Commitment" to include supplier social responsibility management, actively encouraged new suppliers to sign it and setting up an ESG screening mechanism for new suppliers. In the future, Giga Computing will place greater emphasis on suppliers' adherence to environmental management systems, occupational safety and health systems, CSR, and hazardous substances. We are committed to selecting suppliers that meet sustainable procurement standards.
Supplier Management PolicyGiga Computing follows its parent company GIGABYTE Technology's "Sustainable Procurement Guidelines" and, referencing the "RBA Code of Conduct," assesses supplier risk according to four management aspects and four zero-tolerance policies. |

Overview of the Supply Chain
In 2025, Giga Computing Headquarters and GIGAIPC collaborated with 553 suppliers globally. Suppliers were categorized into two major groups based on procurement targets: raw material suppliers and non-raw material (miscellaneous/engineering) suppliers. In 2025, procurement spending was dominated by raw material suppliers, totaling approximately NTD 202.23 billion and accounting for 97.45% of total procurement spending. Additionally, in 2025, Giga Computing Headquarters and GIGAIPC's procurement from domestic suppliers accounted for 80.11% of the total number of suppliers, with domestic procurement expenditures comprising 94.03% of the total. As for the U.S. subsidiary, in 2025 only a small amount, approximately 0.15%, was procured from local suppliers; the remainder was shipped from Giga Computing Headquarters to the local site. Therefore, this year's local procurement ratio excludes the U.S. subsidiary from the data calculation to avoid deviation.
Existing PartnersEach quarter, all suppliers will be evaluated based on quality, cost, delivery time, service, and technical capability. Suppliers with lower scores will undergo annual quality and RBA spot audits, particularly focusing on categories such as chassis, power supplies, and PCBs. For suppliers identified as medium or high risk, we will provide corrective actions and measures, requiring them to implement improvements within 90 days. If no improvement is made, we will gradually reduce procurement from these suppliers, ultimately phasing out those that are unsuitable. In 2025, RBA audits were conducted on 46 suppliers, of which over 82.61% performed well (scoring above 85), and the overall average score was 93.38. In the 2025 overall supplier audit results, no medium- or high-risk suppliers were identified. |

Newly Introduced SuppliersGiga Computing has implemented procurement management based on a green supply chain, evaluating suppliers according to the following basic principles:
|
Conflict Minerals
Tungsten, tin, tantalum, gold, cobalt, and mica are essential raw materials for electronic products. However, if these minerals are sourced from regions where forced labor, or armed conflict occurs, they are classified as conflict minerals, which oppress and harm local human rights and living conditions. Based on its commitment to respecting international human rights and fulfilling CSR, Giga Computing avoids using conflict minerals in its products. The Company conducts conflict minerals usage surveys with first-tier suppliers using the latest Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT 6.5) and Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT 2.0). According to the suppliers' responses, Giga Computing references the qualified smelters published on the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) website and the prohibited smelters indicated by customer feedback to manage its supply chain. If any use of non-compliant smelters is discovered, the supplier is immediately notified to make improvements and is placed on a watch list. If the supplier fails to comply, Giga Computing will notify the relevant internal units to evaluate and potentially prohibit the use of that supplier. In 2025, Giga Computing initiated a survey of 305 first-tier suppliers, with a response rate of 81.07% for the CMRT and 77.05% for the EMRT; suppliers that did not respond are continuously tracked and evaluated for the feasibility of discontinuation. In the future, Giga Computing will continue to initiate annual surveys of first-tier suppliers based on the latest versions of the CMRT and EMRT published on the RMI website to update the smelter list.
3TG Metal
We further conduct statistical analysis of the CMRT forms submitted by suppliers to understand each supplier's actual management of conflict minerals. Annual statistics are divided into two main aspects: the statistical analysis of responses from all suppliers and, among those, the review of the completeness of management policies for highrisk suppliers confirmed to use 3TG metals in products and processes. In 2025, Giga Computing identified 67 first-tier suppliers using 3TG metals from high-risk areas, and over 97% of these suppliers have established conflict minerals sourcing policies.

Cobalt and Mica
In the 2025 survey of first-tier suppliers, 235 suppliers responded regarding their use of cobalt and mica. The results show that 33 suppliers actually used minerals from high-risk areas in their products or processes, and more than 90% of these suppliers conducted due diligence related to conflict minerals with their suppliers. Although the current use of cobalt and mica is not as widespread as that of 3TG metals, we will continue to conduct investigations to eliminate human rights abuses caused by conflict minerals.
