Exploring the Global Supply Chain Risk & Resilience Survey

In an era defined by shifting geopolitical tensions and high risk factors, supply chain leaders have been tasked with ensuring resilience at all times.

The last five years have seen a global pandemic and the subsequent issues, tariff wars, unpassable trade routes, a growing demand for critical minerals and more – all of which have reshaped supply chains across every part of the world.

Now, businesses have become familiar with the unexpected, anticipating it throughout their strategy planning. As a result, leading organisations are able to explore resilience-driving initiatives, with many seeing the value of a strong sustainability goal.

IntegrityNext and BearingPoint invite you to take part in their 2026 Global Supply Chain Risk & Resilience Study to better understand how leading organisations are managing through this era's volatile market. 

This follows the announcement of a strategic partnership between the two companies in March, where the organisations will be exploring the challenges businesses face when attempting to integrate sustainability and supply chain risk insights into meaningful workflows.

Developing resilience through sustainability

The 2026 Global Supply Chain Risk & Resilience Study, The Economics of Sustainability: From Risk to Value, is being held in association with Supply Chain Digital. IntegrityNext and BearingPoint are inviting you to take part in the survey and explore how sustainability can help manage risk and unlock real business value.

IntegrityNext is a leading provider of supply chain sustainability software, helping businesses turn complexity and supplier risk into measurable business outcomes. It aims to help businesses meet growing ESG requirements, while also ensuring suppliers, products and value chains gain stronger operational resilience.

BearingPoint is a technology consultancy, helping enterprises, governments and NGOs to deliver value and adapt to the changing world. It aims to drive innovation and sustainability across the market, with an embrace of AI and sustainability.

Demand for sustainable practices has increased significantly. As major weather events become more frequent, businesses have recognised their responsibility to act with sustainability in mind. The unsettled climate has caused major supply chain disruption throughout the years, with droughts, floods, fires and intense heat disparity resulting in crop failures and disruption to operations.

As a result, organisations are beginning to prioritise sustainability to reduce the impact of climate change. Through implementation, organisations are reducing their impact on climate change – with emissions reductions and less waste – and also developing more resilient supply chains, becoming more self-sufficient and embedding circularity practices.

“Companies that prioritise sustainability gain a competitive advantage: they are better able to anticipate risks, build resilience and transform sustainable data into tangible business value,” explains Simon Jaehnig, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at IntegrityNext.

The study will explore how organisations can utilise these sustainability and risk-mitigating measures to unlock operational resilience.

Welcoming innovations

Throughout times of economic pressure, geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing supply chain disruptions, organisations are having to decide how they manage risks across their global supply chains. Although it can be an initial high cost, sustainability initiatives have been seen as a significant benefit to these operations. 

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) related risks are becoming more of a strategy-shaper than ever before. They, alongside increasing compliance needs, are shaping business performance, cost exposure and resilience.

At the same time as real resilience benefits, organisations are seeing the benefit of sustainability measures through customer satisfaction. More customers are beginning to think about their own climate impact, meaning they are choosing purchases or partnerships more thoughtfully. 

As business leaders need to manage several demands at once, they are turning towards digitalisation and AI to streamline and strengthen their risk management capabilities. Risk insights are being transformed into action, with new innovative solutions emerging constantly.

IntegrityNext and BearingPoint, in association with Supply Chain Digital, are seeking to uncover how leaders are adapting and what barriers they are facing today, with the aim of helping leaders implement strong strategies.

“By combining BearingPoint's expertise in procurement transformation, operating models and regulatory advisory with IntegrityNext's AI-powered supply chain sustainability platform, the partnership enables companies to embed sustainability and risk management directly into their end-to-end procurement processes,” explains Jean-Paul Wehrens, Partner Global Sourcing & Procurement at BearingPoint.

Through offering insights, you will be contributing towards a comprehensive benchmark examining how leading organisations can build resilience throughout volatility and find value from implementing sustainability practices. 

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, with all answers being anonymous.
