- Examples:
- Transportation disruptions (e.g. port strikes, weather-related events)
- Warehouse fires or equipment failures
Compliance Breaches
- Causes:
- Lack of visibility into supplier practices
- Inadequate due diligence
- Poor communication with suppliers
- Consequences:
- Legal and regulatory issues
- Reputation damage
- Financial penalties
- Disruption to supply chain operations
- Examples:
- Labor law violations (e.g. child labor, forced labor)
