📢 The Trump administration’s fluctuating tariffs are forcing US companies to rethink supplier strategies – but without ESG visibility, supply chain pivots may come with costly risks. As fluctuating tariffs hit key trading partners like Canada, Mexico, China, and now the EU, US companies face increasing pressure to diversify suppliers or shift sourcing to limit cost exposure. But supplier diversification can introduce new ESG and compliance risks – unless you have clear visibility. Our latest blog explores why ESG visibility is critical for procurement teams navigating tariff-driven disruptions. Key insights include: ◾ Tariff volatility is threatening nearshoring efforts, prompting US companies to explore alternative sourcing regions 🌎 ◾ Supplier diversification to avoid tariffs can unintentionally create #ESG blind spots and compliance vulnerabilities ⚠️ ◾ Integrating ESG intelligence into your sourcing decisions can mitigate risks, control costs and enhance supply chain #resilience 📈 👉 Read the blog for more on these challenges and how EcoVadis solutions can help you navigate tariff uncertainty. https://ecovad.is/3RmLuSW
