Programme information

Global supply chains can create significant financial, operational, regulatory and reputational risks for companies - while also presenting opportunities for resilience, innovation and competitive advantage. For institutional investors, understanding these exposures is increasingly important when assessing companies, conducting due diligence and engaging with management. Risks can extend across multiple tiers of the value chain and may not be immediately visible through conventional financial analysis.

This programme provides a practical investor perspective on global supply chains. Participants will explore how to identify material supply-chain risks and opportunities, assess how effectively companies manage them, and incorporate these insights into investment analysis, stewardship and engagement.

Through practical frameworks and real-world examples, the programme will help participants ask more effective questions, identify potential areas of concern and strengthen their assessment of supply-chain resilience and management quality.
