CDL SME Supplier Queen Bee Programme

Scope 3 emissions refer to indirect emissions from CDL’s value chain and addressing these emissions is crucial for CDL to meet its comprehensive sustainability goals. With 70% funding support from Enterprise Singapore, CDL has launched this groundbreaking programme to support 100 of its selected SME suppliers to embark on their decarbonisation journey through enhancing their ability in carbon accounting and reducing its carbon emissions. SMEs with strong ESG commitments and transparent data will have the opportunity to become preferred suppliers not only to CDL but also to other companies.

However, collecting data on Scope 3 emissions is complex and challenging due to its intricacy and lack of direct control. Innovative strategies are necessary to navigate these difficulties and obtain reliable data for precise emission calculations.

As the sustainability consultant supporting CDL, GGC is at the forefront assisting participating SMEs on their journey. Our goal is not only to reduce carbon emissions but also to help SMEs establish a sustainable and resilient supply chain for long-term success.

Hear from Gush: How Sustainability is Fueling Their Growth and Competitive Edge

Lester Leong, Co-Founder & CEO - Gush (Video)

As an SME, we constantly tackle challenges like limited resources and the need to stay competitive in a fast-paced market. Joining this programme was a game-changer, boosting our capabilities and supporting clients like CDL in meeting ESG standards. We gained invaluable insights and tools, sharpening our ESG understanding and reporting. This experience has honed our strategic thinking, streamlined processes, and supercharged our ESG reporting, driving overall efficiency. A standout benefit was learning from and exchanging experiences with fellow SMEs. I strongly urge others to join this programme to gain knowledge, overcome challenges, and elevate their business capabilities.

Bernadette Lee, Associate Director, Account Management - Meta Fusion

We recognised the upcoming needs and transitions in sustainability and decided to commit ourselves ahead of our competitors to gain a better position. Despite challenges like being in a rented space, which limited our ability to implement certain solutions, and the difficulty of setting big goals for a smaller company with many operations to streamline, the programme provided practical guidance and achievable goals. Even with no prior ESG knowledge, it was easy to follow and there was sufficient time for data collection. The GGC team provided tremendous value, offering practical examples and helping us articulate our sustainability efforts effectively.
