What You’ll Learn
Session 1:
Transform Operations with Co-SIRI by Closing Gaps and Building Auditable ESG Processes
Learn how the Co-SIRI (Collaborative Self-Improvement Roadmap for Industry) framework can help your factory implement greener operations. Co-SIRI is a practical assessment and planning tool developed by Malaysian Smart Factory 4.0 to guide manufacturers in improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and aligning with ESG standards.
Whether you’re just starting your ESG journey or ready to move to the next level, Co-SIRI‘s locally developed framework delivers actionable solutions by:
- Closing critical operational gaps in energy, water efficiency, and supply chain management
- Develop auditable ESG processes for transparent compliance reporting
- Slash carbon emissions to avoid CBAM penalties and resource waste
- Turn data into decisions with real-time performance tracking to monitor progress, flag risks, and drive continuous improvement.
- Execute Malaysia’s 2050 Net Zero roadmap through phased implementation
Session 2
Unlock Export Markets via Ecovadis Certification that can Secure International Buyers & Green Finance
EcoVadis is trusted by more than 150,000 suppliers and investors to assess your operations across 4 critical pillars:
- Environmental Impact: Ensures compliance with global regulations (e.g., CBAM/CSRD) by reducing carbon footprints.
- Labour & Human Rights: Strengthens brand reputation and investor appeal through ethical workforce practices.
- Ethical Supply Chains: Mitigates risks and secures Fortune 500 buyers’ trust via transparent, responsible sourcing.
- Sustainable Procurement: Drives cost savings and qualifies for premium contracts through eco-friendly sourcing.
The badge system of platinum, gold, silver and bronze of Ecovadis provides a precise measurement of your sustainability maturity and benchmark against international peers.
