Webinar Overview

In an era of escalating trade tensions, tariff volatility, and stringent ESG regulations, global supply chains face unprecedented compliance complexity. This webinar bridges traditional trade risk management with the emerging imperative of ESG due diligence, equipping supply chain leaders with the frameworks and tools to build competitive, compliant, and resilient operations.

As governments worldwide tighten enforcement of forced labor provisions, carbon reporting mandates, and deforestation regulations, ESG compliance is no longer optional—it's a trade barrier. Learn how leading organizations are turning regulatory obligations into strategic advantages by mapping risks across multi-tier supply chains and implementing audit-ready due diligence systems.

Why This Is Important

Trade diversification has become a sensible risk mitigation strategy in response to global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. However, diversification without robust ESG due diligence creates hidden exposures to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.

The convergence of trade compliance and ESG requirements means that:

• U.S. Customs is actively blocking shipments under USMCA forced labor provisions
• The EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) creates supply chain liability for human rights and environmental violations
• Canada's strengthened Modern Slavery Act requires comprehensive supply chain mapping and reporting
• Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs) are introducing new cost structures tied to emissions transparency
• Investors and customers increasingly demand ESG accountability as a condition of doing business

Organizations that master ESG due diligence gain competitive advantages: reduced compliance costs, faster customs clearance, preferred supplier status, enhanced brand reputation, and access to ESG-conscious capital and customers.

Key Outcomes

Participants will leave this webinar with actionable strategies to:

• Master ESG due diligence frameworks aligned with global regulations (CSDDD, Modern Slavery Acts, CSRD, TCFD) and understand how they intersect with traditional trade compliance
• Map hidden supply chain risks across multiple tiers using advanced analytics to identify forced labor, carbon hotspots, biodiversity threats, and sanctions exposure
• Transform compliance obligations into competitive advantages by implementing systems that reduce costs, accelerate supplier onboarding, and enhance supply chain resilience
• Implement practical supplier screening and audit-ready documentation strategies that satisfy regulatory requirements with minimal supplier burden
• Navigate trade diversification with ESG risk intelligence to evaluate alternative sourcing regions, assess geopolitical trade barriers, and build resilient global operations for 2026 and beyond
