Celebrating suppliers in Taiwan
We’re working with our diverse supplier network to help them embrace more sustainable ways of doing business.
More than 40 senior representatives from Taiwanese suppliers attended a special event in September to showcase our supplier sustainability programme and show how we’re supporting our diverse supplier network.
Held in partnership with our Wealth Management business, we shared our latest market insights with suppliers, as well as details of our sustainability commitments and our pledge to support supplier diversity.
As part of the event, we celebrated our suppliers for their efforts in sustainability and supplier diversity with a dedicated award ceremony.
Bringing together such an innovative group of suppliers was really heartwarming. It’s not just good for the suppliers we work with but also good for us as a business. Together we can be more creative, innovative and flexible to harness the power of diversity.Woody WangCountry Head Supply Chain Management, Taiwan, Standard Chartered

Our commitment to supplier diversity
Supplier diversity refers to a supply chain that incorporates businesses owned by under-represented individuals or groups – such as women and ethnic minorities, as well as micro and small businesses – and corporations who have strong diversity and inclusion profile
Our global supplier diversity and inclusion strategy promotes economic growth for our communities as well as unlocking greater value from our supply chain. We want to give back where we can, whilst promoting sustainability and making sound business decisions.
We believe that through collaboration and support, we can drive a more sustainable supply chain across our markets.
