Five Actions to Improve Supply Chain Resilience in Unprecedented Times

Shocks to global supply chains are increasing in frequency and severity. Over the past 15 years, the financial crash, the Icelandic Volcano eruption, Brexit, US/China Trade War and Covid-19 have caused severe disruptions to businesses across industries and geographies. 

After the Covid‑induced storm, fresh threats to global supply chains emerge. The pandemic drove global supply chains to near breaking point in the past two years. But instead of a slow return to normality in 2022, companies are having to deal with three major events; Ukraine conflict, Covid resurgence in China and rising US inflation rates, which pose fresh threats to logistics networks.
