Transforming for Sustainability: Driving Impact and Value through Supply Chain Action

By Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP)

May 5, 2025

The Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (“CIIP”), a non-profit entity established by Temasek Trust, embarked on this report to study the role of Southeast Asian MSMEs in global supply chains.

Throughout the course of this study, CIIP engaged and sought the views of Khazanah Nasional Berhad as we have a shared interest in understanding the challenges faced by MSMEs in a world where sustainability considerations have become increasingly important. Yet, they are not getting any easier to navigate, especially for resource-stretched MSMEs.

This report is the second of a comprehensive two-part study, building on the foundational report prepared by CIIP and PwC Singapore, “It takes a community”: Enabling SME resilience in FMCG supply chains published in April 2024. The first report focused on how SMEs in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore were addressing sustainability-related challenges.
