Hosting Supplier Engagement Events

Another method we use to engage our suppliers is through events which foster exchange, dialogue and deeper relationships. In early January 2020, we held our first-ever Sustainability Engagement Forum in Hong Kong. It took place at Blueprint with 80 of our suppliers and business partners in attendance. These stakeholders received an update on our SD 2030 Strategy, followed by presentations and a panel discussion on low-carbon and sustainable building lifecycle initiatives to identify further opportunities for collaboration.

We also hosted a supplier engagement event about the application of green construction materials in southern China at Taikoo Hui in Guangzhou.

These events:

• Introduced new green materials adopted in concrete, reinforcement bar and formwork;
• discussed methods of recycling construction materials;
• informed participants about the current status and latest trends in government policy; and
• informed suppliers about reduction targets we have committed to under the Science-based Targets initiative.

We look forward to working with these forward-looking suppliers and business partners to further drive the transition to a low-carbon built environment.
