Supplier management and risk assessment

      Except for bulk commodities, we ask our suppliers to obtain certifications such as ISO, HACCP, AIB, HALAL, and FSSC where possible as an added assurance for the safety of the products they supply. Any direct, indirect, and packing materials required for production or packing are purchased by the procurement department of the respective production site after assessing raw material and supplier risks. Procurement policies have been established in accordance with local regulations, while food safety and traceability are also enforced.

      Qualified suppliers of good quality are selected by Namchow Group through a fair, reasonable, and efficient supplier management process. We also make sure that all raw materials and packaging have reliable suppliers and good quality. Lower costs help to improve product competitiveness.

Supplier Management Process of Namchow Group

Taiwan region

      In the selection of suppliers, we also consider international certifications, such as ISO 22000, HACCP, and eco-friendly product certificates, such as traceability and organic products. In 2020, we sourced food ingredients from 43 suppliers with such certificates, accounting for 45.7% of the total. Today, with the rising awareness of food safety, to ensure the safety of the food ingredients purchased, we have implemented supplier management, independent inspections, regular and unscheduled audits, and other tasks in the daily operating process; as such, every customer can be more at ease while enjoying our delicacies.

      BLN Restaurants & Caterings primarily considers supplier qualification, integrity, product quality, stable supply, and reasonable price during supplier screening and selection. The company would conduct market research on the goods required by the kitchen (compare at least three suppliers), compare product qualities, price advantages, supply capability, and company reputation before selecting the right supplier. For its 40 primary suppliers, BLN Restaurants & Caterings has logged in to the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to check the credit status of the supplier for the year and determine whether there are any administrative penalties or if the supplier is included in the blacklist as a serious illegal or untrustworthy enterprise.
