Global tariff uncertainty is placing immense pressure on businesses around the world. Procurement teams are urgently reassessing their sourcing strategies and renegotiating their supplier relationships.  

In today’s volatile trade environment, tariff risk needs to be identified early, modelled with precision, and viewed within the context of broader supply chain operations. 

This webinar will show procurement teams how to achieve better visibility into their supply chain’s tariff exposure. We’ll show how understanding the compounding impact of tariffs is a critical first step in managing risk, making sourcing decisions, and building longer-term supply chain resilience. The session also positions tariffs as one part of a bigger picture that includes ESG, human rights risks, and other supply chain pressures that forward-looking teams need to plan for.

‍

What we’ll cover:

  • The difference between direct and indirect tariffs - and why this matters
  • How to model tariff scenarios and anticipate their impact
  • How to quantify the potential price increases for each of your procurement expenses
  • How to use technology to flag high-risk suppliers and inform sourcing decisions
  • How to contextualise tariffs against a broader procurement risk framework, including ESG, human rights and emissions.

‍

Who this session is for:

This session is designed for procurement leaders, heads of supply chain, commercial operation managers, and risk officers looking to combine ESG risk mitigation with practical strategies for cost control, supplier decision-making, and long-term supply chain agility.
