About the webinar:

Drawing on analysis of over 150 suppliers across 40+ countries and multiple industries, this webinar reveals common vulnerability patterns that affect companies regardless of industry.

We'll explore why having 75% of direct suppliers being located in low-risk Nordic countries doesn't guarantee a safe supply chain, and how geographic concentration in a couple of high-risk countries creates significant exposure to forced labour, poor working conditions, and geopolitical instability.

Join us to learn:

  • Why direct supplier location is not a reliable indicator of actual sourcing risk
  • How to achieve meaningful nTier visibility
  • The key vulnerability patterns across industries—from China dependency to single supplier concentration
  • Practical strategies to achieve 90% supplier assessment response rates
  • How to navigate emerging challenges including export controls, ownership structures, and sanctions

What is supply chain visibility and risk management?

Supply chain visibility extends beyond knowing your direct (Tier 1) suppliers to understanding where they source their materials and components.

Effective risk management means identifying and addressing vulnerabilities at every tier; from forced labor concerns in specific regions to compliance weaknesses hidden behind seemingly low-risk supplier locations.
