Supply chain management is a cornerstone of SAMEE Group’s operational resilience and sustainability performance. It supports the Group’s ability to meet stakeholder expectations and navigate an increasingly dynamic market environment.
SAMEE Group adopts a structured, risk-informed approach to supply chain management that balances commercial prudence with our commitment to sustainability, ethical conduct, and inclusive economic development. Anchored by the principles of transparency, resilience, and responsible sourcing, our supply chain governance framework is designed to uphold stakeholder trust, support local economies, and safeguard business continuity amid a rapidly evolving global procurement landscape.
Sustainability and governance considerations are embedded throughout our procurement lifecycle, including supplier selection, engagement, and contract enforcement. All key suppliers and contractors are regarded as strategic partners and are required to comply with the Group’s supply chain standards. These expectations are formalised through a Letter of Conformance, affirming adherence to SAMEE Group’s requirements on quality, occupational health and safety, labour rights, environmental management, and ethical business conduct.
In response to heightened exposure to geopolitical tensions, environmental volatility, and material shortages, SAMEE Group has reinforced its supply chain resilience through source diversification, digital procurement solutions, and proactive risk management practices. Critical materials are sourced from regionally diverse, qualified suppliers to reduce single-source dependencies and enhance production continuity. These suppliers are screened, onboarded, and continuously assessed through a structured Approved Vendor List (“AVL”) framework, which is supported by regular reviews, supplier scorecards, and quarterly compliance tracking.
Our procurement strategy reflects a strong alignment with sustainability principles. We prioritise vendors that demonstrate responsible EESG performance, support local sourcing where feasible to minimise upstream emissions, and promote community-based economic inclusion. To strengthen ethical behaviour, SAMEE Group’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is distributed to all vendors as part of the onboarding process.
Together, these efforts reflect SAMEE Group’s ongoing transformation toward a responsible, resilient, and future-ready supply chain. By integrating EESG principles at every stage of procurement, we not only strengthen operational performance but also contribute meaningfully to climate action, responsible consumption, and national supply chain development goals.
While SAMEE Group’s supply chain composition is often shaped by customer specifications and contractual obligations, limiting full autonomy in supplier selection, we remain committed to promoting local economic participation wherever feasible. As part of our ongoing supply chain monitoring efforts, we continue to track the proportion of procurement spending directed toward local suppliers.
