Hong Kong’s close proximity to China and the emerging markets of Southeast Asia makes it one of the most important locations for sourcing activities of German companies in Asia. Numerous corporate groups, ranging from multinational wholesale and retail chains to traditional trading houses, maintain purchasing offices in the Special Administrative Region.
The Sourcing Committee was established in 2017 and brings together leading representatives from around 25 GCC member companies. Its core focus areas include regional developments, digitalisation, diversification, and sustainability standards.
