For example, Malaysia’s top halal export markets (e.g. China, Singapore and Japan) are signatories to the Net Zero target and non-sustainability practices will lead to an increase cost of business exporting into these markets. Malaysia’s halal food and beverages segment, which makes up 80% of Malaysia’s halal production and 86%5 of total halal exports may be adversely affected by climate change. An increase in temperature will lower the resilience of the agroecosystem against pests and pathogens, resulting in lower yields and quality of crops, affecting the supply of raw materials. In addition, more MNCs are embracing the sustainability agenda compelling halal SMEs to factor in sustainability as part of their business strategies, operations and decision making. It is heartening that prominent halal MNC manufacturers have already started imposing sustainable practices across their supply chain. Nestle for example, has established the Paddy Club back in 2012 as an initiative to ensure rice used for the company’s cereal products is sourced sustainably and responsibly. Another example is the Sustainability Agriculture Code as a pre-requisite for suppliers to enter Unilever’s supply chain as part of the group’s ambition to sustainable sourcing. Towards this end, the Islamic financial institutions have put together a lot of efforts and resources in place, underpinned by the concept of Value-based intermediation (VBI) such that financing and banking activities are in line with sustainability practices.
