Deciding where you source your goods and services no longer means a binary choice between ‘high-cost’ or ‘low-cost’ geographies and vendors. With economies becoming more interconnected all the time, the decision to source and/or invest in a particular location is a much more complex conversation. Accordingly, the practice of best cost country sourcing (BCCS) is now widely practiced and is attracting an increasing amount of attention in boardrooms.
Over years of scoping and implementing BCCS initiatives, we have established key levers for companies that can make a difficult challenge more straightforward.

As European corporates navigate economic uncertainty, shifting capital allocation priorities, rapid advances in artificial intelligence and increasing scrutiny of strategic decision-making, shareholder activism continues to evolve.

June 18, 2026
Shareholder activism is accelerating, and the root cause is consistent: sustained operational underperformance relative to peers.
