Halal Supply Chain Management

Introduction A robust halal reputation holds both intangible and tangible advantages in Muslim markets, resonating with stakeholders such as Muslim consumers, societies, employees, and shareholders. Building a strong halal reputation is essential for fostering positive sentiments toward the organisation and its brands at various levels, ensuring sustainability and market presence. Beyond the direct impact on sales, a solid halal reputation attracts top-tier talent and garners positive social media coverage. This corporate standing should be considered a vital component of market capitalisation, coining the term “halal reputation capital,” which proves to be invaluable for companies, ranging from millions for local enterprises to billions for multinational corporations. Surprisingly, most businesses operating in Muslim markets lack strategies to measure and fortify their halal reputation capital. Why Halal Reputation Capital Matters In the past decade, numerous local and international b...

The halal industry is a fast-growing industry, today covering not only food but also non-food (such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and modest fashion) as well as services (hotel, restaurant, café, logistics, and tourism). The halal industry is further evolving in leading halal markets in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Being at the forefront of these halal megatrends will be important for brand owners to maximise sales and protect your licence to operate in Muslim markets. Brand owners need to understand these megatrends in the halal industry and be proactive on emerging halal requirements in order to build the world’s trusted halal brands. 1.

Although end-to-end halal assurance has been ass...

In this June-July 2023 issue of the LogiSYM magazine, Dr. Marco Tieman discusses the topic of risk management in halal supply chains. In this article he reviews common gaps we find in supply chain audits with halal certified companies as well as best practices in halal risk performance measurement.

Below a halal port decision tree to identify your next steps in professionalising halal compliant terminal operations.  There is an international halal standard for certification halal logistics operations: OIC/SMIIC 17:2020.
