Practice review: supply-chain compliance and knock-on diligence risk
Overseas customers increasingly demand supply-chain compliance evidence. Reviewing a manufacturer's diligence response.
A typical scenario: a manufacturer taking a large overseas order is asked for supply-chain compliance evidence covering labor, environment, and traceability — gaps can directly cost the order.
Such demands come both from customers' compliance policies and from increasingly strict supply-chain diligence legislation in their markets, with responsibility transmitted up the chain.
The review's point is to build supply-chain compliance into a presentable system: supplier onboarding and audit, traceable records, and periodic re-review — not last-minute paperwork.
The lesson: supply-chain compliance is shifting from a 'bonus' to an 'entry ticket', especially with large Western customers.
