Reuters Events has partnered with JLL for our latest report, “The state of European supply chains 2023." Over 170 EMEA supply chain managers give us an insight into how decisions are being made in today’s complex world of heightened geopolitical risk, trade sanctions, high inflation, tight labour markets, energy crises, high financing costs, and weakening consumption.

68% of supply chain leaders expect the war in Ukraine to disrupt supply chains in 2023, making it the most widespread concern, followed by increasing energy/fuel costs (66%), and the effect that inflation will have on consumers’ behaviour (55%).

Insights such as these are discussed in depth, and this report demonstrates in detail:

• The steps leaders are taking to mitigate risk,
• The demand and inventory outlooks in EMEA
• The trends in the technology investment within supply chain
• The most crucial sustainability initiatives 

As well as this, the report is complemented with interviews from top leaders such as:

• Remo Illi, Head of Regional Supply Chain Management Europe, Sandoz Pharmaceutical AG
• Volker Ruegheimer, Head of Group Supply Chain Development, Volkswagen AG

We hope this report provides guidance for companies as they try to mitigate the impact of rising costs, weakening demand, and a heightened risk of disruption.
