SGS Proudly Sponsors Latest BCI Supply Chain Resilience Report

January 19, 2023

As the world picks up the pieces following the pandemic and looks to face a global recession, businesses need a beacon of certainty and the knowledge to build resilience.

This is why we are proud to sponsor the latest BCI Supply Chain Resilience Report. By cleverly combining detailed data and in-person interviews, this document brings you the latest supply chain resilience information.

Brilliantly blending past, present and future

Supply chain resilience remains very challenging for organizations, although many positive trends include centralized reporting, which is at an all-time high. However, work must be done to maintain the lessons learned during the pandemic, as this report clearly shows that the opportunity to use COVID-19 as a lesson to learn about supply chain resilience is slipping away.

While reported levels have increased, we are still seeing a relatively low uptake of technology to detect and report on supply chain disruptions. We also understand that top management commitment has increased overall, although more organizations describe this as “medium”, rather than the “high” noted in last year’s report. We all know that there is more work to do in these areas.

Given an uncertain future, we all want to be prepared as much as possible. This report turns its attention to the future, brilliantly combining lessons from the past with present and future potential issues and hurdles to give you a rounded picture.

Although cyberattacks and data breaches were the sixth main cause of disruptions in the past 12 months, they are a primary concern over the next five years for over 55% of those that took the survey for the report. Other key concerns include adverse weather, natural disasters, energy scarcity and new laws or regulations.

This said, the future looks bright for business continuity, as many businesses continue to pursue the practice to ensure their prosperity and future.
