The increasingly complex regulatory environment presents a huge challenge for procurement teams, especially amid ongoing uncertainty about how new regimes will take shape.

Building resilience is the key to navigating this complexity — and it delivers a double benefit. By strengthening resilience, procurement teams not only gain true Tier-n visibility that drives efficiency, reduces risk, and unlocks cost savings, but they also ensure they are well-positioned to comply with a wide range of global regulations, from the EU’s CSDDD to the US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

Resilient procurement requires teams to actively engage with new rules, communicate effectively across the business, and maintain close oversight of their supply base. Those that succeed will transform regulatory challenges into opportunities to create stronger, more sustainable, and more cost-effective supply chains.
