The ideals of free trade and globalization have largely been replaced by security concerns, trade war and tariffs. How do trends such as protectionism, conflict and intensified geopolitical rivalry affect companies’ possibilities of managing a responsible and global supply chain?

Utökad information om evenemanget

The world has experienced numerous shocks in the past decade. In 2015, Brexit caused a major rupture within the EU, leading to new trade conditions between member states and the UK. In 2018, US president Donald Trump started a trade war with China, which is still on-going. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic paralyzed the world, resulting in a dramatic plunge in global trade coupled with increased trade barriers. Since then, the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war in Gaza and the new Trump administration in the White House have produced heightened global uncertainty. Democratic backsliding, multiplied attacks on human rights and expanded sanctions regimes further add to a complex geopolitical landscape. In addition, the evolving effects of climate change occur, transforming trade routes. What are the consequences of prevailing trends for Sweden and Swedish companies? What can firms do to mitigate a wide array of risks – from tariffs to sanctions and human rights violations?
