PETALING JAYA, 26 AUGUST 2026 - WCT Holdings Bhd, with businesses spanning engineering and construction, property development, and property investment and management is advancing its sustainability agenda by strengthening engagement with its suppliers through the Vendor Sustainability Readiness Dialogue: Prepare for Future ESG and Project Requirements. 

 

The recent session brought together representatives from WCT, BSD Consultancy Sdn Bhd, Climate Asia Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of BSD Consultancy and selected suppliers within WCT's supply chain. It aimed to enhance supplier awareness and 

and readiness in response to evolving Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) and carbon-related expectations, particularly in relation to customer expectations, supply chain competitiveness, and financing considerations. 

 

The session also introduced WCT's upcoming ESG Queen Bee Programme, a paid supplier support programme to be implemented over a period of up to two years. Year 1 will focus on ESG training and knowledge sharing, carbon baseline assessment and decarbonisation strategy development, while Year 2 will involve carbon reassessment for participating suppliers that proceed with implementing the proposed decarbonisation strategies from Year 1. Programme fees will be determined based on the size and scope of each participating supplier's operations. 

 

As part of this initiative, WCT formalised its collaboration with BSD Consultancy through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a framework for the development and implementation of the WCT ESG Queen Bee Programme. Climate Asia, as a subsidiary of BSD Consultancy, will support the Programme through its technical expertise in sustainability and carbon- related advisory. 

 

WCT group managing director Datuk Lee Tuck Fook said that through the ESG Queen Bee programme, they aim to support selected suppliers in strengthening their sustainability readiness and capabilities, while contributing to a more resilient and future-ready supply chain. 

 

Engineering and contruction managing director Anthony Teoh Teik Thiam said: "Our suppliers play an integral role in the successful delivery of our projects. As ESG and carbon- related expectations continue to evolve across the construction and property development industry, it is important that we work closely with our suppliers to strengthen their capabilities and preparedness." 

 

BSD Consultancy managing director Kelly Lee said: "The Queen Bee Programme enables companies such as WCT to play an advocacy role in encouraging suppliers and key partners to take their first steps in sustainability and carbon tracking, particularly as supply chain readiness and Scope 3 emissions tracking become increasingly important. WCT is well positioned to be among the first movers in pioneering this approach. Through this collaboration, BSD Consultancy looks forward to managing and coordinating the Programme end-to-end, with the support of Climate Asia's technical expertise."
