Ongoing Operational Verification

Why Ongoing Verification Is Necessary

Supplier Risk Changes Over Time

Even established suppliers can experience:

• Ownership changes

• Capacity pressure from new clients

• Subcontracting without disclosure

• ESG compliance gaps

• Workforce instability

• Financial stress

• Shifts in quality control standards

Without local oversight, these risks remain invisible — until they affect your deliveries or reputation.
