Tariffs, Trade Risk & the New Resilience Code for Smarter Sourcing
Raw materials have moved from a procurement task to a boardroom issue. Volatility, trade policy shifts, and ESG pressures are reshaping how companies secure their supply base.
Our Raw Materials Management Whitepaper outlines the five strategic imperatives every C-level leader must act on to transform procurement from reactive firefighting to proactive resilience.
Key Gaps in Raw Material Procurement Resilience
-
Tariffs beat price as #1 risk
Trade and policy volatility have overtaken pricing as the top external challenge in raw material procurement. Executives must treat policy risk as a structural planning parameter — not a temporary headwind. -
The execution gap
81% of companies source from tariff-affected regions — but only 45% have adapted their strategy. This gap between intent and execution leaves procurement exposed to avoidable risk.
