Supply chains risks in China still include extremely high levels of corruption, environmental pollution issues and slow working conditions reforms, according to new analysis from Sedex.
While China remains “unparalleled in the region in terms of its productivity levels and speed at which deliveries can be turned around”, data from Sedex and global risk company Maplecroftpoint to continuing supply chain challenges such as health and safety issues, wages and working hours; inadequate storage and management of hazardous chemicals; and the sluggish progress of political liberalization.
