Global regulations, ongoing export controls, and a very dynamic tariff landscape are contributing to the growing importance of supply chain risk management (SCRM). No longer “just” the responsibility of one or two departments, SCRM increasingly requires an enterprise-wide approach.
Our analyst team compiled a number of helpful guides and sample investigations to help teams navigate the rapidly evolving compliance landscape and develop a comprehensive corporate approach to SCRM. Here are a few of our top insights, organized around three central themes.
Tariffs Come to the Forefront
Few topics have commandeered the news in early 2025 like the subject of tariffs. While the tariff landscape has been fluid, organizations can take preliminary steps to optimize supply chains and mitigate tariff exposure.

EU Actions Have Global Impact
New European Union (EU) regulations have rapidly approaching implementation deadlines. These regulations expand due diligence, forced labor compliance, and deforestation mitigation requirements not just for EU-based organizations, but also for those doing business in the EU. The impact of these regulations has already begun to ripple through supply chains worldwide. For example, the EUDR will impact how organizations around the world document their environmental impact, and the EUFLR will increase due diligence requirements to capture the complete upstream supply chain.
