SCC++ 2022: Building Sustainable Supply Chains through ESG Initiatives
Heartiest congratulations to the winners of SCC++ 2022 Finals, the event was held physical at SUSS Performing Arts Theatre on 27 July 2022.
More than 170 SLA members and business associates as well as SUSS academia team, IHL lecturers and students were present to give support to the annual event.
Professor Cheong Hee Kiat, SUSS President delivered his welcome speech as follow:
"The theme of this year’s Challenge - “Building Sustainable Supply Chains through Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Initiatives” is timely and relevant for our disrupted world. To achieve a sustainable supply chain, companies have to address environmental, social, economic and legal concerns across their entire supply chain. A fully sustainable supply chain is one that ensures socially responsible business practices – practices that are not only good for the planet and people who live here, but they also support business growth. These concerns and practices are not easy to address and implement.
But I am confident that all participants today will rise up to the SCC++, put your best foot forward and offer some best-in-class ideas and solutions to your mentor companies! Remember, you will be so proud that your innovative, practical and holistic ideas will have the potential to make an impact in reducing waste, environmental footprint, while also improving labour conditions, and the health and safety of workers.”
Indeed, the 3 Finalist Teams delivered high standard solutions to this challenging topic – Sustainable Supply Chain. Over the last 5 weeks before the Finals, they fine-tuned their solutions in consultation with their respective mentor-companies. The teams were assessed by their mentor-companies for their solutions, presentations and communication skills, teamwork as well as project management.
The panel of judges comprised expertise from SLA and SUSS who gave the teams opportunities to further define their solutions through Q&A:
· Mr Gerry Tan, Honorary Secretary of Singapore Logistics Association
· Ms Andelyn Oh, Honorary Treasurer of Singapore Logistics Association
· Mr Chee Wai Meng, Head, Procurement Minor, School of Business, SUSS
· Dr Zhao Qitong Lecturer, Logistics and Supply Chain Management Programme, School of Business, SUSS
