MARKETPLACE
Supplier
partnership is equally important for the Group and we strongly
support national development strategies through ethical procurement
practices. As a result, we work closely with Bumiputera suppliers
and vendors as exemplified by Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd
(BN Shipyard). This is aligned with the Government's objective
of developing Small and Medium Entrepreneurs (SMEs), particularly
Bumiputera companies to be skilled and competent vendors under
the guidance of Ministry of Entrepreneur and Co-operative Development
(MECD).
To
date, BN Shipyard has collaborated with 1,190 local vendors which
have certainly helped to create various job opportunities. In
the long-term, this will assist the Government's aspiration for
more local entrepreneurs to provide services in the maritime and
defense related industries.
It
is also a priority for the Group to achieve customer satisfaction
by offering quality products and services. This in turn helps
to solidify the Group's reputation as a corporate entity that
is committed to excellence. Among some of the places where customers
are able to enjoy the Group's high quality service is at its established
chain of Royale Bintang Hotels, the Curve and its numerous BHPetrol
stations throughout the nation.
Additionally,
we respect and abide by all legislations, regulations and laws
as part of our efforts to practise ethical business.
