Shaping the Future of Ethical & Sustainable Procurement
EQS-Rise Chains empowers organizations to transform sourcing into a strategic, responsible, and people-first function — creating measurable impact across GCC & EMEA.
About Us
EQS-Rise Chains is a boutique consulting and training venture that helps organizations and professionals transform procurement and supply-chain operations into engines of ethical growth and sustainable performance.
Founded by Sumayyah Abdullah, a seasoned procurement and supply-chain leader with over two decades of regional and international experience, the firm blends strategic insight with people-first leadership to deliver measurable business impact.
At EQS-Rise Chains, we believe transformation begins with values. Every engagement is guided by Ethics, Quality, and Sustainability (EQS) — ensuring that governance, transparency, and responsibility are embedded in every decision, process, and supplier relationship.
Our mission extends beyond optimization. We help clients build resilient ecosystems that can adapt to market volatility, regulatory shifts, and stakeholder expectations while maintaining trust, compliance, and social responsibility.
Through tailored consulting, hands-on workshops, and leadership coaching, we support teams in bridging the gap between procurement strategy and real-world execution. We translate frameworks such as ISO 20400, SCOR, and ESG principles into actionable practices that enhance cost efficiency, supplier collaboration, and long-term value creation.
As an independent partner, EQS-Rise Chains serves organizations across the GCC and EMEA, enabling them to cultivate future-ready supply chains and responsible sourcing models that align performance with purpose.
We don’t just deliver strategies — we build capability, confidence, and cultures of continuous improvement.
