SICC Members' Room

🌱 Building a Green Supply Chain – Highlights from our first 2025 Sustainability Series event, proudly sponsored by Singapore American School. We kicked off the series with a powerful and insightful session focused on the complexities of embedding sustainability into supply chains.

🔍 Ms. Sammie Leung, Partner at PwC Singapore, opened with a deep dive into current market research and global climate risks. She emphasized the role of businesses as enablers in the sustainability journey and outlined four key considerations:

  1. Emissions and energy usage
  2. Ethical practices
  3. Pollution reduction and renewable materials
  4. Responsible use of natural resources

💬 This was followed by a dynamic panel discussion featuring:

  • Mr. Christopher Ong, Managing Director, DHL Express Singapore
  • Mr. Steven Lesser, Business Development, Asia Pacific, Tag-N-Trac
    Moderated by Sammie Leung

Key takeaways from the panel:

✔️ You can’t manage what you can’t measure – start with data
✔️ Leverage technology to simplify and scale sustainability
✔️ Collaborate with tech providers to streamline data collection and automation
✔️ Prioritize clear, concise data for traceability and performance tracking
✔️ Sustainability brings opportunity – carbon efficiency = cost efficiency
✔️ Explore alternative energy sources for a greener supply chain
✔️ Singapore’s regulatory landscape plays a vital role in enabling access and innovation

💡 Final takeaway: Define the problem, build your case, back it with evidence – a win-win for business and the planet.

 

A big thank you to Sammie, Chris, and Steven for sharing your expertise, to SAS for their generous support, and to our engaged audience for an interactive session.
