BOE actively carried EICC (Electronic Industry Code of Conduct) forward

Since September 2007 when the management of BOE signed to obey EICC (Electronic Industry Code of Conduct), BOE has been steadily promoting the Code in the group. In order to implement the standards of EICC, BOE set up a Project Promoting & Steering Team with the team members coming from the Executive Committee. Under the Team, there is a Work Promotion Group responsible for the promotion of EICC in the group.

In order to fully study and implement EICC standard in the group, in November BOE invited professional lecturers to give lectures about EICC knowledge to 120 staff members working in the departments of production, quality, safety, human resources and workers unions of the production enterprises subordinated to the group, so that all the participants could acquire a thorough understanding of EICC. With the combination of the 8-Chinese-word principle of Integrity, Standard, Transparent, Responsible and contents of CIS, different units should organize the concerned staff to study EICC standard and then implement the standard on the basis of understanding; the departments of human resources, environmental protection and safety and cultural center should take advantage of relevant channels to complete the propaganda and education.

In order to implement the requirements of EICC, the Executive Committee of the company has raised clear requirements for the implementation of EICC: when performing their duties, all the specialized business departments both in the headquarters and different units must follow the requirements of EICC. The property and asset departments of different units should ask their suppliers to sign the acceptance documents to abiding by EICC standard if necessary.

In order to fully promote EICC, the Promotion Group decided to publicize Self-assessment & survey formula of suppliers in different units, aiming to thoroughly understand the gap between the existing status of the group and the requirements of EICC. According to the survey results, the Promotion Group will further confirm the next phase of work of EICC internally. At present, the work is under way.

EICC (Electronic Industry Code of Conduct) was jointly released by HP, DELL, IBM and other companies in October 2004, carrying the mission to establish standard social responsibility act code in the global supplying chains of electronics sector. The Code consists of a series of basic standards relating to labor, recruitment, health & safety, environmental responsibility, management system, ethics, etc. With the participation of CISCO, Intel, Microsoft and Sony, these international companies including HP, DELL and IBM jointly set up supplying chain working team to formulate comprehensive implementation plans to carry out EICC so as to lessen the second party auditing and the third party auditing and save costs.
