Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) through its office in Frankfurt participated in the BME Symposium organised by the Federal Association of Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics e.V. (BME).
The event, which took place in Berlin, started on 12 October 2022 until 14 October 2022.
During the participation, MATRADE Frankfurt promoted Malaysia’s sectoral strength, particularly in machinery, plastics, rubber, electrical & electronics, and many more.
The participation provides MATRADE the opportunity to connect with sourcing communities from all over Germany and several other countries as well as to brand Malaysia in the aspects of sustainability and high innovation. MATRADE’s presence at BME Symposium was also to promote the Malaysia Pavilion at the world’s top plastics and rubber trade fair, KFair 2022 which will take place from the 19 until 26 October 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
According to MATRADE Frankfurt’s Trade Commissioner, Zuhaila Sedek, “The success of sustainability practices within an organisation will depend even more in the upcoming years on the sourcing units, departments, and Chief Purchasing Officers.
Responsible and sustainable procurement will undoubtedly change the game in terms of not just ensuring that the sustainability pledge is kept, but also in the sense of creating a ‘meaningful’ value proposition for companies.”
