In this episode Ian Rogers Director of Supply Chain Finance at Westpac Institutional Bank explains the many areas of risks in supply chains and how to use your ‘financial supply chain’ to identify and manage the risks.
Ian and James also discuss a bankers view of the disruptions that may come to your business in the time ahead: inflations, natural disasters, energy crises, the transition to Net Zero.
Ian also provided good insights into the increasingly-urgent need for every company to actively manage ESG, modern day slavery and the transition to Net Zero carbon emissions. And the current state of trade docs, blockchain and other digital processes.
A rare insight into the mind of a senior banker with a lifetime of experience in Supply Chain Finance.
