Formação em Práticas Sustentáveis na Cadeia de Abastecimento em Singapura

Visão geral do programa

Supply chain sustainability has moved from voluntary reporting to legal obligation. Buyers selling into the European Union now face the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which entered its definitive period on 1 January 2026, and the EU Deforestation Regulation, which applies to large and medium operators from 30 December 2026. Investors and regulators in Asia are asking for climate data that reaches deep into supplier networks.

This five-day Sustainable Supply Chain Practices Training in Singapore helps procurement, logistics and sustainability teams turn these requirements into working systems: supplier risk screening, due diligence, emissions data collection, contract clauses and performance reporting.

The programme covers both corporate and public procurement. Ministries, state enterprises and project implementation units financed by the World Bank or the Asian Development Bank face their own sustainability requirements: the World Bank publishes sustainable procurement guidance for Investment Project Financing, and ADB approved technical assistance in December 2025 to mainstream sustainable procurement in its operations.

Singapore is a practical place to study these questions. Its port handled a record 44.66 million TEUs in 2025, its carbon tax rose to S$45 per tonne in 2026, and its listed companies began ISSB-based climate reporting from financial year 2025.

Every day ends with a workshop or case study that produces a usable output, from a supplier risk heat map to a Scope 3 data plan; the final day assembles them into a roadmap.

The aim is a supply chain function that can show, with evidence, how it identifies and reduces environmental and social risk while still delivering cost, quality and continuity.

The Growing Importance of Sustainable Supply Chain Practices

The rules have become more specific and, after the EU’s 2025–2026 simplification drive, more predictable. The Omnibus amending directive, published in February 2026, narrowed the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive to companies with at least 5,000 employees and €1.5 billion turnover and moved application to July 2029, but kept the core duty to identify and address adverse impacts on a risk-based basis. Large buyers will therefore keep asking suppliers in Asia, Africa and the Middle East for information.

Other instruments are already live or close. CBAM importers must now buy and surrender certificates for the embedded emissions of cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. The EUDR timetable was confirmed by the Commission’s May 2026 simplification review. The EU Forced Labour Regulation will apply from 14 December 2027 to all products placed on or exported from the EU market.

In Asia, disclosure is the main driver. Singapore’s ACRA and SGX RegCo require Scope 1 and 2 reporting from all listed issuers from FY2025, and Scope 3 from FY2026 for Straits Times Index constituents. Development banks are moving in the same direction: the World Bank’s procurement reforms of March 2025 set a 50% minimum quality weighting for most international competitive procurement, which gives room for sustainability criteria.

As organizações precisam cada vez mais de profissionais capazes de:

• Reading new regulations and identifying which products, suppliers and markets are affected
• Designing a sustainable procurement policy and linking it to category strategies
• Screening suppliers for human rights, environmental and governance risk
• Running proportionate due diligence and documenting the decisions taken
• Collecting geolocation and traceability data for deforestation-risk commodities
• Requesting and checking embedded emissions data from producers
• Building a Scope 3 inventory and prioritising the largest categories
• Writing sustainability requirements into specifications and evaluation criteria
• Assessing whole-life cost rather than purchase price alone
• Reducing freight and warehousing emissions without harming service levels
• Managing supplier corrective action plans and responsible exit
• Preparing reliable data for ISSB-based and other sustainability reports
• Explaining supply chain risk to boards, regulators and financiers

Strong sustainable supply chain systems help organisations:

• Keep access to markets with due diligence and border rules
• Avoid shipment delays, penalties and contract losses
• Lower carbon cost exposure under carbon taxes and CBAM
• Meet lender, investor and customer information requests
• Reduce disruption from supplier failures and controversies
• Find savings through energy, packaging and waste reduction
• Improve the credibility of published sustainability data
• Win tenders that score sustainability and quality
• Build longer, more resilient supplier relationships

The common thread is evidence. Regulators and customers no longer accept policy statements alone; they ask for data, traceability and records of action taken.

Relevância regional e aplicação

Europa

EU companies remain the main source of supplier requests. Even with the narrower CSDDD scope agreed in 2026, large buyers, CBAM importers and EUDR operators must collect data from their supply chains, and the Forced Labour Regulation from December 2027 adds another check on imported goods.

Ásia

Asian exporters supply many of the products covered by EU rules, and Asian regulators are adding their own disclosure duties. Singapore’s phased ISSB-based reporting is one example; ADB technical assistance approved in 2025 and 2026 supports sustainable procurement and merit-point evaluation among borrowing countries.

África

Producers of cocoa, coffee, rubber and timber face EUDR traceability expectations from European buyers. Public agencies running World Bank-financed projects also apply the Bank’s sustainable procurement guidance and its environmental and social requirements in tenders.

Médio Oriente

Producers of aluminium, steel and fertilisers exporting to Europe need embedded emissions data now that CBAM certificates are payable. Procurement teams in state enterprises are also adding local content and sustainability criteria to large contracts.

América Latina

Exporters of soy, beef, coffee and wood products must provide geolocation and legality evidence for EU markets, while buyers in the region are adopting supplier codes and emissions reporting to meet investor expectations.

The exercises allow participants to work on their own region and products, so the outputs reflect the rules and suppliers they actually deal with.

Perfil do país anfitrião – Singapura

Singapore is a compact, well-connected city-state with a strong concentration of regional headquarters, logistics providers and trade finance institutions. Its English-language business environment and efficient public services make it a convenient place for a week of focused learning.

It is also a useful benchmark for sustainable supply chains. The port handled 44.66 million TEUs in 2025 and supplied 1.95 million tonnes of alternative marine fuels, up from 1.35 million tonnes in 2024. The carbon tax is S$45 per tonne for 2026–2027, with a target range of S$50–80 by 2030, and the Singapore Green Plan 2030 targets a 30% cut in landfill waste per capita per day by 2030. Listed companies are phasing in ISSB-based climate reporting, which shows participants how disclosure rules reach suppliers.

Singapore’s Changi Airport has direct flights from most regional capitals. Many nationalities can enter without a visa for short business visits, while others need a visa in advance; participants should check the current requirements of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. Risalat provides visa support letters and advice on request.

Common Challenges in Sustainable Supply Chain Practices, And How This Training Helps

How do we know which new rules apply to us?

Many teams hear about CSDDD, EUDR and CBAM but cannot say which products or customers are affected. The Day 1 exposure mapping workshop links each rule to products, markets and dates, and assigns an owner.

How can we run due diligence without auditing every supplier?

The amended CSDDD confirms a risk-based approach rather than full mapping of every supplier. Day 2 shows how to scope and prioritise using country, sector and commodity risk, and how to record the reasoning.

How do we get emissions data from suppliers who have never measured it?

Day 3 covers spend-based estimates as a starting point, then a targeted data request to the suppliers that matter most, with templates that smaller suppliers can complete.

How can sustainability be scored in tenders without breaking procurement rules?

Day 4 shows how to define measurable criteria, life cycle cost and rated criteria, and how to write contract clauses that match what was evaluated.

How do we stop sustainability KPIs becoming a reporting exercise only?

Day 4 links KPIs to decisions such as supplier selection, corrective action and contract renewal, so the data is used and not just published.

How do we support small suppliers rather than drop them?

Day 2 and Day 5 cover supplier development, phased requirements and responsible exit, drawing on tiered code models where minimum requirements come first.

How can we prepare for external assurance of climate data?

Day 3 and Day 4 cover documentation of assumptions, data trails and controls that assurance providers expect, in line with ISSB-based reporting timelines.

Perguntas frequentes

Is this programme relevant if my organisation is not based in the EU?

Yes. EU rules such as CBAM and the EU Deforestation Regulation reach suppliers and exporters worldwide, and Asian disclosure rules such as Singapore's climate reporting regime create similar data requests.

Does the training cover public procurement?

Yes. It includes sustainable procurement in World Bank and ADB-financed projects, sustainability criteria in tender evaluation and contract clauses suitable for public buyers.

Do participants need technical knowledge of carbon accounting?

No. Day 3 starts from the GHG Protocol basics and builds to a Scope 3 data plan using spreadsheet exercises.

O que levarão os participantes de volta para o trabalho?

Drafted tools including a regulatory exposure map, supplier code, Scope 3 data request, tender evaluation matrix, KPI set and a 12-month roadmap.

O programa pode ser realizado internamente?

Yes. Risalat can adapt the content to an organisation's sector, suppliers and reporting duties and deliver it at a location of its choice.
