There are a lot of global challenges we need to be aware of, cyber threats, climate change, supply chain disruptions, fair and responsible business practices are just a handful.Staying on top of these risks is more important than ever and organisations need to have resilient processes to help keep them as safe as possible.Our aim is to use modern tools that allow us to operate robust control environments to protect us, our customers and our suppliers and to make supplier screening and qualification simpler.

What does this change mean for our suppliers?
