Notes from the CEO | Henrik Halvorsen | March 2025
In today’s global environment, supply chains face unprecedented challenges due to unstable regulatory landscapes, geopolitical tensions, sustainability risks, and climate-related risks.
Heightened scrutiny of sustainability, labour practices, and transparency has made compliance a strategic imperative for many companies, especially those with complex supply chains cutting across different continents. Meanwhile, geopolitical conflicts and protectionist trade policies continue to disrupt global operations, forcing businesses to adapt swiftly to maintain resilience.
To address these challenges, we are committed to further developing our software solutions to help you build more robust and sustainable supply chains, by enabling you to better choose the right suppliers and conduct efficient checks for risks and compliance. This includes:
- Pre-qualification: Make sure you choose and qualify the right supplier to maintain capacity and flexibility in sourcing and procurement.
- Proactive Risk Management: Map your supply chain to identify vulnerabilities in your direct suppliers and beyond to support decision-making and mitigate risk. Check for sanctions and various country-specific risks to get a clearer understanding of vulnerabilities and potential risks to mitigate.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adapting swiftly to various laws and standards, such as Åpenhetsloven, LKSG, Påseplikten, Anskaffelsesloven, Konsesjonslovene and others while minimising disruptions through efficient follow-up, communications and documentation.
- Collaborate to improve: Collaborate with your supplier to address improvements, follow up, track progress, and adjust risk accordingly.
Investing in supply chain resilience will safeguard your operations and improve your ability to navigate uncertainty beyond compliance.
As a company, we aim to help you be more efficient by turning operational challenges and regulatory demands into practical improvements that support sustainable operations and growth.
If you have a challenge or want to discuss certain supply chain-oriented risks and how to address them efficiently, please contact us. We are here to help!
