Identifying Foreign Ownership Risk in Supply Chains: Why Knowing Your Suppliers is No Longer Enough
The complexity of global supply chains and rapidly shifting geopolitical regulatory environments have driven increased global attention and investment to supply chain mapping and supply chain risk management (SCRM) in recent years. For SCRM and strategic sourcing professionals, knowing the identity of direct and indirect suppliers isn’t enough; the risks are often found in a suppliers’ ownership. And that hidden ownership-based risk is increasingly related to foreign influence from adversarial governments in countries like China and Russia.
Recent legislation like the OBBBA has broadened prohibitions of certain foreign entities involved in supply chains, while the controversies like the one involving Nexperia – in which Dutch authorities seized a company to prevent transfer of sensitive technology to its Chinese parent company — underscore the heightened tensions around suppliers with problematic ownership.
