Supply Chain Risks

Complex supplier networks, changing trade policies, and sustainability pressures expose organizations to risks that may interrupt their business.

Businesses face many issues when trying to manage their supply chain risk. 

These include:

  • Limited visibility to risk exposure beyond direct suppliers
  • Growing pressure from regulators, investors, and customers amid waves of new policies
  • Limited and decreasing supply chain insurance coverage
  • Tariffs and changing trade policies
  • Reliance on single-source suppliers, which has emerged as a critical vulnerability within global supply chains

Take a fresh look at your supply chain risks and vulnerabilities in order to help you better navigate the challenges and spot the opportunities ahead.
