January 16, 2025 | WCDirect: Nearshoring, Reshoring & Supply Chain Resiliency

Companies across the world are turning to nearshoring and reshoring options to strengthen their supply chain and mitigate risk amidst concerns about continued global unrest, a changing geopolitical landscape, and increased risk from climate change and severe weather events. What are the benefits and challenges C-suite leaders and board members should know as they consider these options for their organization?

WCD, in collaboration with the Board Risk Committee (BRC), will bring together an expert panel to discuss current trends related to nearshoring, reshoring, and protecting against supply chain risk. What policy changes might arise from this election cycle that could impact company decisions such as from tariffs and taxes? How can boards ensure management is prepared to address these policy changes and other supply chain pressures?
