Who Supplies Your Suppliers? Understanding Your Supply Chain Tiers in an Evolving Compliance Landscape

Contributed by Sayari

Supply chain regulations are becoming both more numerous and more nuanced. Meanwhile, supply chains are becoming increasingly complex and with that, sub-tier visibility has become incredibly challenging. For sourcing and procurement professionals, managing both of these challenges is proving key to developing a successful compliance strategy.

In this webinar, Sayari Director of Analytical Services Zach Tvarozna and Senior Solutions Analyst Harry Hayllar discuss seven supply chain regulations and what they mean for industry.

Key insights include:

  • An analysis of goods and materials most likely to be impacted by direct (tier 1) and upstream forced labor risk
  • A discussion of how regulators are applying NGO research in their enforcement of import controls
  • Case studies demonstrating how Xinjiang forced labor risk has moved well outside the bounds of Xinjiang Province
  • Best practices for investigating sub-tier suppliers
