Comments from Organizer

"Amidst the growing importance of geopolitical risks and sanctions compliance, many companies are reviewing their supply chains. On the other hand, significant manual work remains in counterparty due diligence and trade-related operations, posing a challenge to balance efficiency and risk reduction. This webinar will introduce practical countermeasures that Japanese companies should take moving forward, considering the latest risk environment."

Webinar Overview

The outlook for the uncertain Middle East situation and the expansion of related risks are directly impacting the supply chains of Japanese companies, particularly in the energy, materials, and manufacturing sectors. With changes and expansions in counterparties becoming unavoidable, the burden of due diligence (DD) for new counterparties has increased dramatically, and the processing of trade documents, which still relies heavily on paper, has become a major bottleneck.

This webinar will deliver practical insights from three perspectives: analysis of geopolitical risk trends, practical risk management for supplier changes, and digitalization (DX) of trade documents using AI.

Key Topics

01 The Iran Situation and Its Impact on Japanese Trade Analysis of the impact of intensified sanctions, strait blockade risks, and energy supply concerns on Japan's exports and imports, especially the supply chains of the energy, chemical, and manufacturing industries.

02 New Risks Associated with Supplier Changes Explanation of the reality and management methods of overlooked counterparty risks and sanctions risks amidst a surge in switching to alternative suppliers and developing new business partners.

03 Advancing Counterparty DD, TPRM/SCRM Introduction to the establishment of due diligence systems for trade counterparties and best practices for TPRM and SCRM (Supply Chain Risk Management), along with regulatory trends.

04 Risks of Manual Trade Document Processing and the Need for Digitalization Many of the world's trade documents are still paper- or scan-based. We will outline the risks of manual errors, delays, and overlooked sanctions, and explain the necessity of digitalization using AI.
