A Look at the Biggest Risks That Threaten Global Supply Chains

摘要

A new report examines the impact of protectionism, food and water scarcity, and the prospect of another energy crisis on supply chains in the U.S. and around the world. A report from the Atlantic Council and Zurich Insurance Group concludes that a worldwide backlash against free trade and globalization is posing new risks for supply chains. It also examines a variety of other geopolitical trends that could have a significant impact on economic growth and the movement of goods around the world. In this conversation, excerpted from an episode of The SupplyChainBrain Podcast, we speak with Nick Wildgoose, global supply chain product leader with Zurich. He offers advice on what companies should be doing to buffer themselves against three critical areas of risk.
