Goal 2

ADVOCATING A RESPONSIBLE VALUE CHAIN

A sustainable supply chain is integral to our journey of value creation. Sunway is committed to advocating sustainable procurement practices by instilling ESG awareness among its suppliers and vendors to safeguard a responsible value chain. The Group also embeds digitalisation in its supply chain to ensure smooth and efficient daily operations.

Supply Chain Management

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

Sunway’s suppliers are expected to comply with all applicable laws, codes or regulations of the countries, states and localities in which they operate. Suppliers must also ensure that their own vendors, including temporary labour agencies, are in compliance with such laws and regulations. They must also align their practices with any published standards for their industry.

Sustainable Procurement Policy

The policy acts as a best practice approach to sustainable procurement and sets out the guiding principles in our supplier selection process, which prioritises suppliers who adopt sustainability practices in their organisations and business dealings.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

We purchase products with eco-labels such as PEFC and FSC-certified products.
  • 57% reduction in paper purchased since 2017
  • 8,367 tonnes of CO2e emissions avoided by practicing sustainable purchasing goods from 2015 – 2022. ​

Digitalisation serves as an enabler in Sunway and is embedded in the upstream and downstream processes of our supply chain. It also guides our data management for workflow purposes and business applications, enabling smooth daily operations. With the utilisation of digital spaces, we are able to reduce our paper usage, which then reduces wastage and environmental pollution.

DIGITALISING OUR VALUE CHAN​

E-Procurement

Sunway established an e-procurement system in 2016 that enables all procurement approvals and documents, ranging from purchase requisitions (PR) to purchase orders (PO) and goods received, to be processed electronically.
