Why Supply Chain Risk Management is More Crucial Than Ever 

Global supply chains are becoming increasingly fragile due to mounting financial pressures, ESG compliance demands, and disruptions caused by natural and geopolitical events. These vulnerabilities can lead to delayed production, rising costs, reputational damage, and more if unmanaged.  

Key Trends Impacting Supply Chains:  

  • 48% surge in bankruptcy declarations among suppliers in 2024.  
  • An average of 15 delivery disruptions per company per year, caused by natural disasters, labor strikes, and infrastructure failures.  
  • 29% rise in ESG-related risks, with human rights compliance dominating scrutiny.
