Earning the distinction of CDP Supplier Engagement Leader with an 'A' rating is a reaffirmation of our deep-rooted commitment to driving positive change collaboratively, upstream and downstream.
This achievement underscores the strength of our integrated ESG strategy, where supplier engagement, Scope 3 emissions accountability, and governance are seamlessly aligned with global climate goals. As we look ahead, we remain resolute in expanding this ecosystem of shared responsibility by fostering co-innovation, strengthening partnerships, and enabling measurable impact across every layer of our value chain.

Another highlight is a discussion on Court-Annexed Mediation and its practical applications for enforcing settlement agreements, an issue gaining traction under the Singapore Convention on Mediation. Wong also praised Harbans Singh, a well-respected mediator and Bicam Council member, for leading recent training sessions for the judiciary, Housing Ministry and Justice of the Peace Associations in Penang and Selangor. 'Harbans does this for free and even donates his own well-regarded book on mediation to participants. His dedication is a reflection of the spirit we aim to cultivate at Bicam,' he said. As Bicam positions itself at the forefront of institutional arbitration and mediation in the region, Wong emphasised that continued growth will come through education, engagement and public trust.
