Summary
The global supply chain has become increasingly complex and highly sensitive to international events:
- The war in Ukraine grinds on and Russian sanctions increase in volume
- Semiconductor and chip manufacturing in relation to China’s military-industrial complex retains U.S. policymakers attention
- Forced labour product bans by the EU and U.S.
- The increasing risk of trafficked synthetic opioids in the supply chain
These events are constant reminders of the necessity for a robust and contemporary risk screening program. Despite the continuing developments in technology and the level of sophistication that exists across the sector, international trade remains very hard for logistics and shipping firms to navigate.
The significant due diligence requirements for logistics organisations will be discussed in this S&P Global Market Intelligence webinar with emphasis on how best to navigate the regulatory recommendations and expectations.
