Green Procurement
SET has designated that green procurement be part of its environmental policy by developing the Green Procurement Guidelines to delineate its procurement approach. In 2020, SET aimed to increase the value of green procurement by 70% through the following approaches:
Increased the number of environmentally friendly suppliers and green products/ services, and updated the database of green products and services to serve as alternatives for procurement.
Revised the environmental guidelines in its Terms of References (TOR) for green product and service groups to ensure that suppliers are aware of and consider the environmental impacts of their choice of materials and services, such as by
eliminating the use of decorative materials made from plastic and foam. Instead, SET opts to use natural or recycled materials, and specifies that materials should be reused or used for other social benefits after their original intended use.
Continuously communicated the Green Procurement Guidelines to stakeholders.
In 2020, SET’s green procurement value was 77% (against a 70% green procurement target), a 10.85% increase from 2019. In addition, there were 129 new green suppliers, which is an increase of 4 suppliers from 2019. Going forward, SET remains committed to increasing its procurement value of green products and services.
