All corporates are facing increasing pressure from customers to provide greater transparency around where the products are being made and where raw materials are coming from, how things are sourced and its related carbon footprint. Policy developments across South East Asia related to carbon pricing, energy conservation bills, energy efficiency standards and rising electricity tariffs will factor into business costs and competitiveness if action is not taken soon. As such, there is a greater impetus on companies to not only measure their value chain impacts more closely but also use this data to drive sustainable action.
