Don’t worry if you can’t watch the full video — we’ve pulled out the most insightful moments so you can get the gist in minutes.
- Sustainability Starts with Suppliers: Mandai’s journey to net-zero isn’t possible without tackling Scope 3 emissions — and that means suppliers play a critical role.
- Green Procurement is Not a Fad: Mandai sees responsible procurement as a long-term, structural shift — not just for big corporates, but also for SMEs. Green offerings will increasingly become the baseline expectation.
- Cost Parity is Coming: While some sustainable solutions may cost more today, trends like solar and EVs show prices drop fast with wider adoption. Suppliers that act early will gain a long-term edge.
- Beyond Price: Mandai takes a balanced view in evaluating proposals — considering not just cost, but also quality and sustainability. Suppliers offering credible green solutions may be better positioned as sustainability becomes a strategic priority.
- Partnership with AUD’NCO: Mandai is partnering with AUD’NCO to provide support to suppliers through training, expert guidance, business matchmaking to kickstart their sustainability transformation and build credible green offerings.
