The accelerating pace of environmental, technological, regulatory and social change globally has reinforced the importance of business resilience. CLP recognises the strategic value of secure and responsibly-managed supply chains. Continued investment in resilience enables CLP to anticipate, withstand and recover from disruption, ensuring reliable operations and sustainable value creation.
Integrated sustainability risk profiles into procurement process to monitor risks along the supply chain
Launched a pilot scheme to assess the sustainability performance and management systems of selected strategic suppliers of CLP Power
CLP is continuously broadening and diversifying its supplier base and building stronger relationships with existing strategic suppliers. Beyond operational and supply chain concerns, CLP regularly identifies and evaluates sustainability risks through a risk profiling monitoring process, enabling it to manage ESG topics such as labour practices, human rights, modern slavery, child labour, harassment, safety, environmental considerations, governance and corruption along the supply chain.
To strengthen its supply chain sustainability, CLP has developed a three-year Sustainable Procurement Roadmap that has been endorsed by the Sustainability Executive Committee. In 2025, the second year of this roadmap, CLP trialled a tiered due diligence approach that combined supplier sustainability risk profiling and sustainability assessment
to embed ESG into the core procurement process. A pilot project was launched to onboard selected strategic suppliers of CLP Power, which involved assessing each supplier’s sustainability performance and management systems. CLP Power’s commitment to sustainable procurement was recognised with the Green Supply Chain Award at the Procurement Success Summit in November 2025, highlighting the collaborative effort of CLP Power and its partners in advancing sustainability throughout the supply chain.
Looking ahead, CLP is developing post-assessment strategies aimed at driving continuous improvement across core sustainability areas. This targeted engagement with suppliers is helping to address identified gaps and foster ongoing improvement, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and responsible supply chain.
Why is this topic material to stakeholders?
As global supply chain uncertainty persists, CLP will need to continually monitor sustainability risks and work with suppliers collaboratively to address them. CLPʼs size and reputation are an asset in this regard, enabling it to collaborate with suppliers to identify and address potential and actual risks in line with market-specific regulations and voluntary industry standards.
