Two major trends have a direct impact on a company’s supplier relationships. Within both it’s clear that taking no action is no longer an option; it’s time to make a change.
Sustainability – Customers and laws push companies to set goals and focus on both working conditions and environmental impact. Responsibility also extends to your supply chain. If your supplier’s subcontractor uses non-permitted or non-accepted manufacturing methods, it is a ticking time bomb for your brand.
Risk management – Recent global economic challenges emphasize the need for companies to handle disruptions effectively. Being able to quickly parry negative consequences and continue to supply customers in a difficult situation is not only important for one’s survival, but also a clear competitive advantage.
