Report methodology:

Thomson Reuters surveyed 225 global trade professionals, including executives and managers from regions like North America, the EU, and Asia-Pacific. Participants were from companies with at least £5 million in annual sales and significant import/export activities. The report underscores the complexity of global trade, highlighting the importance of flexibility and adaptability. Supply chain management is a top priority due to disruptions, leading businesses to diversify and invest in technology for improved visibility and efficiency. While ESG issues are increasingly regulated and integrated, they are less prioritised than supply chain and geopolitical concerns. These findings emphasise the need for businesses to strategically balance immediate operational challenges with long-term sustainability goals.
