Sustainable Procurement
MCUT has established the "Regulations Governing the Management of Materials and Equipment" and conducted purchase requisitions and operations in compliance with relevant provisions. The Procurement Division of the Main Management Department, FPG, is responsible for managing purchasing matters. If suppliers have any questions regarding the product specifications requested for purchase, the procurement unit of MCUT will directly provide explanations to the suppliers. In the past three years, no contracts have been terminated due to supplier violations of regulations. MCUT has received the "Green Procurement Excellence Award" from the Environmental Protection Department of New Taipei City Government for six consecutive years (2019-2024), showcasing its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of climate change.
Through the use of FPG's purchasing resources, MCUT has partnered with approximately 15,431 domestic and international suppliers, along with around 14,829 third-party contractors as of March 2025. This collaboration encompasses project contract awards, outsourcing of labor services, and general procurement. In alignment with sustainable development goals, we have not only consulted information on environmentally friendly products and products with energy-saving labels available on the websites of the "Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan" and the "Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs," but also incorporated environmental protection and energy conservation activities as part of our promotional standards.
Furthermore, the university follows the principle of local procurement, as it believes this approach enhances the local economy and helps decrease the carbon footprint linked to product transportation. In 2024, the university’s total general procurement was NT$632,516,461, with 97.35% (NT$615,744,396) sourced locally within Taiwan, while NT$16,772,065 was allocated for international procurement.
For construction and renovation projects and contract management, MCUT requires vendors to sign a construction operational safety notification upon being awarded a contract. This notification outlines the workplace environment, potential hazards, and necessary safety and health measures, enabling vendors to fully understand relevant provisions and precautions. Furthermore, before construction begins, vendors are required to conduct safety and health education in accordance with applicable provisions, including the Labor Health and Safety Act.
