Supply Chain Security

In today’s global marketplace, it is more important than ever to have a transparent view into your supply chain, no matter how remote suppliers may be from where you actually conduct your business. As a result, suppliers and manufacturers need solutions in place to demonstrate compliance in a number of areas dictated by today’s business climate.

In order to demonstrate enforcement of and compliance to international supply chain security standards, companies must continuously assess their supply chain to identify, mitigate and eliminate potential security risks, and also monitor and measure product, shipping and data security.  Intertek has decades of experience and expertise in tracking a supplier’s capability and performance in terms of quality, security and other relevant issues.

Intertek offers the following services to assess supply chain security:
