• continuity & resilience risks - single-source dependencies, capacity bottlenecks, transport/logistics interruptions, natural disasters and pandemic shocks;
geopolitical & regulatory risks - trade sanctions, tariffs, export controls, sudden policy shifts and conflict-zone exposure;quality & safety risks - counterfeit or sub-spec components, contamination, product recalls and liability;ESG & ethical risks - labour-rights violations, environmental degradation, corruption, human-rights abuses and traceability gaps;cyber & data-security risks introduced through supplier networks and connected operational-technology;enterprise processes for supplier mapping, tier-n visibility, risk scoring, audits, scenario analysis, contingency planning, diversification, insurance and joint remediation programmes;alignment with frameworks such as GRI 308/414, ISO 28000 Supply Chain Security, EU CSDDD due-diligence obligations and climate-related supply-disruption guidance under TCFD/ISSB.
