DBS Hong Kong, Sun Hung Kai subsidiary unveil green payments

The supplier payment services are for Hong Kong’s construction industry.

DBS Hong Kong and construction firm Sanfield have launched sustainability-linked supplier payment services (SPS) for the city’s construction industry.

Sanfield is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP).

Under the program, DBS Hong Kong will act as the only advisor to Sanfield in setting a series of sustainability-related performance targets, including ESG disclosure, safety performance, waste reduction, adoption of innovative technology and carbon-emissions reduction.

The SPS program, reportedly the first of its kind in Hong Kong’s construction industry, is expected to help Sanfield develop a sustainable construction ecosystem with its suppliers and sub-contractors and fulfill its ESG commitments and vision. 

Sanfield’s suppliers and sub-contractors may benefit by getting early payment for their goods or projects, thereby improving their cash conversion cycle whilst enhancing their ESG performance, DBS Hong Kong said in a press release.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
