Feb 13 2012, 1:58 PM ET Comment
The year 2011 saw a number of natural disasters that led to significant and costly supply chain disruptions. This illustrated the global interconnectivity of risks with, for example, production in the US stopping because of issues in Japan. It is important to ensure the resilience of supply chains not just in financial terms but also because of their importance from a social perspective, for example, the consequences of failures in food and pharmaceutical supply chains. The report will draw on the knowledge of supply chain risk experts, key institutions and industry bodies, to investigate the following themes: 
• Ensuring your business continuity and risk management involves your critical supply chains  
• Best practices that might be considered in tackling supply chain risk 
• How to carry out appropriate due diligence with suppliers 
• Making the financial case for improving supply chain risk management 
• Care and protection of cargo at sea 
• Impacts that port closures could have on your supply chain
