In today’s business environment, decision-makers, procurement leaders and changemakers are looking for more than just suppliers. They want to embed measurable social impact in corporate procurement strategies, a direction aligned with global frameworks such as the UN Global Compact Sustainable Procurement Guidance and the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Procurement Report.

At Batik Boutique, we support this shift by offering corporate attire and gifts that align with your brand while delivering transparent, quantifiable outcomes. As the only batik brand globally certified as a B-Corp and Malaysia’s highest-accredited social enterprise, we help organisations make procurement decisions with purpose.

Our impact metrics enable you to confidently integrate your purchasing decisions into ESG reporting and CSR disclosures, guided by frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the IFRS/ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Standards.

Why measurement matters

Organisations adopting social procurement generate impact far beyond product quality or cost. For example, in Australia, business and government buyers have collectively spent A$1.1 billion with certified social enterprises, resulting in jobs, skills training and environmental improvements.

This illustrates the strategic potential of procurement as a lever for delivering meaningful social value, a concept supported by the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply’s Social Procurement Guide.
