A majority of UK CEOs warn that a disruption of just two weeks to their top three suppliers could risk up to 40% of their revenue, driven by ongoing geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and cyber threats. UK CEOs show readiness to accept a 17% cost increase for supply chain resilience, with many planning to pass these higher costs to customers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Supply Chain.

◆ The Wire takeaway

UK business leaders have set a new price for supply security that passes costs directly to customers, signalling a shift in corporate cost strategy you must factor into pricing or supplier negotiations. Failure to address cyber and climate risks in your supply chain exposes your revenue to sudden shocks that can push you out of market.
