There is currently no shortage of global events imposing
pressure on businesses' supply chains. There is no stopping the
rise in raw material prices, which is driving price lists up to
exorbitant levels. Nor does the shortage of raw materials seem to
be anywhere close to resolved.
The phenomenon, originally triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic,
has seen its escalation exacerbated by the conflict between Russia
and Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has significantly impacted the
performance of some contractual obligations by, for example,
creating supply shortages and catalysing rising energy prices.
In order to understand this phenomenon, which is heavily
influenced by geopolitical factors, it is necessary to consider its
impact on the distribution chain, an impact that ultimately makes
businesses increasingly vulnerable.
