TEST- EU Deforestation Law: Key Updates and Supply Chain Impacts 

The European Union’s new Deforestation Law (EUDR) is making waves worldwide. Set to take effect on December 31, 2024, this regulation will impose strict requirements on products like coffee, cacao, and palm oil to ensure they do not originate from recently deforested areas. Companies trading with the EU will need to verify the deforestation status of their goods, adding layers of compliance.
However, the EUDR has sparked global debate. The United States is pushing for a delay, citing concerns over the regulation’s far-reaching consequences, but the EU remains firm in its timeline, with any postponement seen as unlikely.
For supply chains, this new law signals a substantial shift. Increased compliance measures will raise costs for goods entering the EU and could lead to disruptions as companies adjust to meet the new requirements. Organizations trading in the region should start preparing for these changes to avoid future bottlenecks and compliance issues.

Mastering the Complexities of Energy and Utility Supply Chains with Trust Your Supplier

by Nick Picone, TYS VP of Advisory Practice

Energy and Utility (E&U) organizations operate within one of today’s most complex and operationally challenging supply chain environments. They are interdependent industries where reliability and resilience are non-negotiable. As these industries evolve, they face three key operational challenges, ranging from ensuring a consistent supply of the goods and services (at stable prices) required to maintain an aging utility grid, balancing energy transition with compliance requirements, and mitigating a wide range of supplier risks – especially cyber vulnerabilities.  

According to Hemingway’s Law of Motion, these challenges can lead to an unforeseen collapse which “happens gradually and then suddenly” where seemingly manageable issues can escalate into critical failures if not addressed proactively. What’s needed is a novel approach to supplier and risk management, one that anticipates and mitigates risks before they impact operations. 

In order to deliver meaningful change, leaders across the sector need to be intellectually honest about their current state and capabilities and curious about what practical steps they can take to improve how they operate. In this case, the improvement that I’m referring to is a future state that provides the visibility, and end-to-end capabilities required to mitigate key challenges before they reach a tipping point. 

Aging Infrastructure: A Pressing Concern

One of the most consequential challenges facing the energy and utility sectors is aging utility infrastructure. According to a U.S. Grid Deployment Office (GDO) report, over 70% of the U.S. utility grid is more than 25 years old and will require substantial modernization or complete replacement. This ongoing issue not only impacts reliability but also significantly increases maintenance costs. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Infrastructure Report Card underscores that aging infrastructure requires more frequent repairs and faces an increase in prolonged outages that can erode customer trust and impact daily life. 

Moreover, the Department of Energy (DOE) highlights that outdated infrastructure cannot support the advanced technology needed for grid modernization and integration of renewable energy sources. This presents a considerable obstacle as utility companies strive to meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals. As infrastructure projects ramp up, the demand for raw materials and components increases, leading to potential supply bottlenecks, which can further delay critical upgrades and increase costs.  

How TYS Helps: 

Maintaining aging infrastructure requires a diversified supplier base to provide specialized components and services, which can be challenging to source, especially in a landscape prone to supply bottlenecks. TYS simplifies the diversification process by providing U&E companies with the tools to segment and identify potential risks and the ability to quickly discover, assess, and onboard suppliers. 

TYS provides comprehensive visibility into your entire supplier base, as well as the agility and controls required to mitigate risks proactively, ensure compliance, and enhance operational efficiency. By leveraging clean and continuously maintained data in addition to a network of trusted suppliers, companies can pre-qualify and onboard new suppliers with speed and precision. Furthermore, TYS’s automated monitoring capabilities ensure continuous oversight of supplier risk and compliance with regulatory standards, allowing organizations to address potential issues before they reach a tipping point.  

This holistic approach streamlines procurement processes, fortifies supply chain resilience, and empowers utilities to maintain and modernize their aging infrastructure without unexpected delays or disruptions due to supplier challenges. 

Energy Transition & Compliance Management: Balancing Innovation and Regulation 

The global push towards clean energy has added a new layer of complexity to the energy and utility industries. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power necessitates significant infrastructure upgrades, while the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape requires meticulous compliance management. 

As regulations become more stringent, utility companies face increasing pressure to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. This challenge extends to the careful selection of suppliers who align with these criteria. KPMG emphasizes that non-compliance with safety and environmental regulations can lead to severe penalties, operational setbacks, and reputational damage. 

How TYS Helps 

TYS simplifies compliance management by enabling utility companies to quickly find and onboard suppliers that meet sustainability and regulatory requirements. The platform offers an intuitive supplier discovery experience through features like dynamic search and filtering, making it simple to identify suppliers within a trusted network that adhere to compliance criteria. 

The procurement process is also streamlined by enabling efficient review and consensus approvals on internal supplier requests before initiating contact. TYS’s flexible platform supports customization of the prequalification process with tailored assessment questionnaires, automated approvals, and segmented validations to ensure alignment with specific business requirements. 

Compliance initiatives are seamlessly managed through a combination of up-to-date supplier compliance questionnaires and risk data from trusted partners. This approach provides both qualitative and quantitative insights, supporting informed decision-making. 

Once suppliers are onboarded, TYS’s life cycle monitoring tools offer ongoing visibility into compliance, reducing the risk of penalties and helping to maintain a strong reputation. 

Risk Management: Safeguarding Against Disruptions 

The E&U sectors are facing an increasing frequency of disruption driven by global events such as pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and trade restrictions. Additionally, the exponential rate of integration of digital technologies is driving a significant volume of new cybersecurity attacks. In fact, Power Grid International reports a 71% rise in cyberattacks on utility companies in North America in just the last year. 

Effective risk management is often hampered by fragmented data management processes, which can lead to limited visibility across the supplier network. This lack of transparency is a direct result of outdated information creating sub-optimal conditions for decision-making, leaving companies ill-prepared to respond to emerging threats. 

As digital technologies are being continually implemented across utility operations, the stakes of cybersecurity continue to grow. Cyberattacks can compromise sensitive data, disrupt essential services, and inflict severe financial and reputational damage. 

How TYS Helps: 

TYS offers a secure and comprehensive risk management solution that enhances visibility across the supply chain. This enables companies to identify potential risks related to cyber security and respond proactively. By integrating data from leading risk intelligence providers, E&U organizations can continuously access reliable, “best-of-breed data” that supports informed decision-making.

Additionally, TYS provides supplier profiles that can be enriched with critical information from top cyber risk intelligence sources, allowing companies to assess and monitor cyber threats associated with their suppliers. This comprehensive understanding of potential risks is further strengthened by TYS’s use of blockchain technology, which minimizes the risk of data breaches and provides a secure environment for supplier interactions, protecting against operational and reputational damage. 

The TYS platform includes comprehensive risk monitoring workflows that continuously track changes in supplier risk profiles. These workflows trigger an automated approval process that will re-evaluate key data points and provide a best-in-class risk management process. 

Through these capabilities, TYS empowers utility companies to build resilient and reliable supply chains that can withstand global challenges and safeguard their operations against emerging risks.

Trust Your Supplier (TYS) Completes SOC Examinations for Fourth Consecutive Year

In the fast-paced landscape of business operations, the secure exchange of information stands as a cornerstone of success across all industries. Cybersecurity, confidentiality, and data privacy remain paramount concerns, particularly in the realm of document exchanges and data transfers. Trust Your Supplier (TYS), a flagship initiative under the purview of Chainyard, acknowledges the critical nature of these issues within its network of participants. To bolster this commitment, TYS and Chainyard proudly announce the successful completion of SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type 2 examinations for the fourth consecutive year with no exceptions, reaffirming its dedication to meeting the most stringent data security requirements.

The examination was conducted by A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance firm trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.

What is SOC 2 report?
SOC 2 report  addresses risks associated with the handling and access of data, and can be used by a variety of organizations of any size (e.g. SaaS, colocation, data hosting, etc.) Rather than a cybersecurity assessment that evaluates specific technical configurations, a SOC 2 report focuses more on how an organization implements and manages controls to mitigate the identified risks to the different parts of an organization.
The SOC 2 audit testing framework is based off of the Trust Services Criteria (TSC), which are used to identify various risks (points of focus) an organization should consider addressing. Based on the TSCs the organization selects to be in-scope, the third-party compliance and audit firm evaluates whether the organization has the appropriate policies, procedures and controls in place to manage the identified risks effectively.

In order to pass a SOC 2 examination and receive a letter of attestation successfully, it means an organization is addressing controls in areas such as information security, access control, vendor management, system backup, business continuity and disaster relief, and more.

Trust Your Supplier & Chainyard performs SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits on an annual basis and reports are available to current clients upon request and to potential clients upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement. If you are interested in viewing these SOC reports, please contact us.

TYS Podcast S2E4 – Unraveling the Global Tapestry of Politics, Economics, and Supply Chains

In this episode, we dive deep into the intricate web of global politics, economics, and supply chains, unraveling the complexities that shape the landscape of modern business. Join us as we explore pressing questions and uncover insights that shed light on the evolving dynamics of the global risk environment.

The volatile nature of today’s global political and economic climate reverberates across industries, making it imperative for supply chain and procurement professionals to stay vigilant. Every shift in geopolitics or economic policy can send ripples through the supply chain, impacting everything from sourcing strategies to operational efficiency.

So, why does this matter for supply chain and procurement? Simply put, businesses operate in a connected world where disruptions in one region can have far-reaching consequences. Whether it’s trade disputes, sanctions, or geopolitical tensions, these factors can disrupt supply chains, increase costs, and affect business continuity.

Tracking these issues requires a comprehensive approach, leveraging a mix of data sources, analytics, and expert analysis. By monitoring key indicators, companies can anticipate risks and identify opportunities, enabling proactive decision-making.

To gain deeper insights into these challenges, we asked the experts at Prism about the emerging trends in global politics and economics. Watch our conversation with them and read our blog, co-authored by TYS and Prism, on how the Swiss climate ruling reshapes supply chains and risk management.

Navigating Geopolitical Shifts

How the Swiss Climate Ruling Reshapes Supply Chains and Risk Management

by Michelle Armstrong, TYS Global VP of Value Engineering and George Coe, Prism Cofounder & Partner

On April 9, 2024, a Swiss Court determined that the Swiss government had a legal obligation to combat climate change, based on European Human Rights Law. The case will have significant implications for ESG and supply chains. 

This adds to a wave of climate litigation, against both countries and companies, but stands as a landmark ruling due to the use of human rights law broadly, and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) specifically, for which a precedent is now set for all 46 countries that are signatories. 

The implications go far beyond the direct ruling. TYS partner, PRISM, a geopolitical risk advisory firm, breaks down the issues for supply chain leaders to watch in three categories. 

Risk of rapid regulatory expansion: the ruling implies that governments have an obligation to take appropriate measures to meet their stated climate goals. Current policy in almost every country comes far short of stated climate goals, such as the Net Zero by 2050 targets set in most Western economies. Legal obligations to put in place policies that match stated goals would mean transformative new climate regulations that would require far larger changes to supply chains than current law. This could range compliance burdens like greater disclosures, but the ruling implies effort aimed more directly at cutting climate risk, making it more likely that direct supply chain costs would be imposed by policies that require renewables investments, more ambitious emissions reductions, reduction of high emissions imports, and other more fundamental changes. 

More countries: a range of other cases exist using human rights and other laws. Other countries, from France to Portugal to India and beyond must be watched for similar precedent-setting rulings that would expand the implications of this legal framework beyond Switzerland and the ECHR. 

Direct corporate lawsuits: the ruling accelerates the impact of climate litigation from activists, which has also been aimed directly at companies. It can be expected to boost efforts to sue companies directly for failures on climate change, creating financial risk to companies and their suppliers, if more lawsuits are successful. 

More broadly, the case could act as a catalyst for enhanced international cooperation. By framing climate action as a human rights imperative, it may lead to a concerted effort among nations to standardize environmental policies and regulatory frameworks, especially at a time when human rights and environmental goals are being pursued in tandem in supply chain regulations like the EU’s CSDDD. 

The case itself is a crucial moment in the use of litigation by climate activists, bringing together years of work at the intersection of environmental advocacy, human rights, legal strategy, and political dynamics. If a precedent has truly been set that expands to more countries, we can expect a rapid rise in transformative climate action, rather than just stated goals, in the coming years.
