Position Paper – Responsible Supply Chain & Circular Economy

November 18, 2022

Intended to target both European companies and the Singapore government, this position paper on Responsible Supply Chain will showcase the unique nature of Singapore and Europe in relation to building and maintaining sustainable supply chains. More importantly, this paper synthesises challenges, opportunities, and differences between these two entities, to ultimately draw future recommendations for building more responsible supply chains. It is crucial to understand that organisations, governments, and countries are developing sustainable supply chains at their own pace and at the availability and mastery of knowledge and resources. Hence, this position paper is imperative as a guide for Europe and Singapore to find a way forward together.

The position paper will centre around these three main questions.

What are the differences between Europe and Singapore in building and maintaining sustainable supply chains?
How aligned are Europe and Singapore and what are the specific priorities of Singapore in relation to European businesses?
In what areas and with what means can greater collaboration be fostered between the two parties?
