Sustainable Supply Chain

Brogent's simulator rides are developed via the synchronized integration of multiple systems and highend technologies. To manufacture stable and safe products, mechanical manufacturing, electrical control, audiovisual system, and safety certification system in the upstream industry chain must be integrated to successfully create various new-generation entertainment facilities with the latest form of media.

Brogent has established complete supply chain management regulations and measures, including supplier management principles, new supplier review system, and supplier risk classification, and supplier management (including evaluation and consultation). In addition, Brogent focuses on issues of quality and safety, endeavoring to optimize the supplier cooperation models, guide suppliers to grow together, work together to improve immersive simulation technology, and fulfill CSR to achieve sustainable operations.

Supply chain management
  • Of the 370 suppliers in 2023, 91.35% were in Taiwan and 8.65% were in other countries.
  • There are currently 1,124 suppliers, in which 575 were added in 2023.
  • Suppliers installed solar panels for energy conservation and carbon reduction, and the cumulative electricity generation was approximately 1,339,000 kWh in 2023.



Supplier Management Principles
Brogent chooses qualified suppliers and sets Quality, Schedule, and Cost as the three primary factors of the management principles to ensure a steady supply of materials and high-quality engineering. In order to jointly pursue sustainable business operation and growth, we create a win-win sustainable supply chain. Environmental certification or labels are one of the evaluation metrics included in our sustainable supply chain evaluation of suppliers. Suppliers who have obtained these labels would be given preference for being selected. Between suppliers who can provide the same services, priority would be given to suppliers located closer to us, reducing the distance which our employees have to travel and the amount of air pollution generated by product shipping.




Supplier Risk Management
Brogent's suppliers are divided into two categories: general materials and outsourced projects. As of the end of 2023, Brogent has a total of 1,124 suppliers. According to the risk analysis of the purchase management procedure, as well as purchase risks and purchase prices identified in the management procedure, Brogent classifies suppliers into four risk quadrants and applies different management methods accordingly.




Supplier Cooperation Regulations
Brogent's assessment of new suppliers includes a preliminary review process that considers capital, operating conditions, production capacity, and performance. We then determine whether to conduct an on-site inspection and assessment based on the situation. When cooperating with new suppliers, we sign a purchase contract or purchase order based on the situation, and require the supplier to agree to abide by Brogent's sustainable development requirements, including protecting human rights, not using child labor, and prohibiting discrimination and unfair treatment in employment, salaries, and promotions. Suppliers are required to comply with local labor safety and health regulations and provide a safe and healthy working environment.

Explanation of Supplier Assessment Grades



Supplier Assessment Grades and Results in 2023
We use two methods for supplier evaluation: electronic questionnaire and annual evaluation. After a deliveries are accepted during weekdays, the suppliers are randomly selected to fill out an electronic questionnaire, and the questionnaire recovery rate is > 98%.



The 2023 annual evaluation was conducted at the beginning of 2024 based on the transaction data in 2023. A total of eight companies were selected, in which two were graded A and six were graded B with an average score of 79.1 points.




The leader in industrial upgrade
In the past, the immersive simulation technology industry was not available in Taiwan. Thus, when Brogent first entered the industry, it actively sought collaboration with local Taiwanese vendors, while assisting them in transforming their businesses for the immersive technology industry. To develop simulator rides, Brogent leverages the technical strength, flexibility, and willingness of small and medium enterprises to cooperate. In addition, Brogent plans, designs, and collects the various technical and production information of international companies, commissioning contractors to manufacture our products and helping them with transformation and upgrade. Brogent collaborated with more than 30 SMEs, including Unigin Interfield, Ea-Hwa Enterprise Industrial, and Cheng Day Machinery Works to develop a MIT flying theater and apply for patents, jointly building a supply chain system for simulator rides with SMEs.
