Global Resources Security - Commodity Supply Lines

• Does extended supply-line vulnerability raise cause for concern?
• Are you uneasy about future commodity prices and how they may affect your firm?
• Will inventory pricing, procurement of commodities for your operation or failures in the supply chain affect your business?

Corporate, agency and even global circumstances change rapidly. Intractable global economic and financial conditions and increasingly unstable global political conditions will not change for the better, quickly. In like manner, the outlook for a protracted, continuing economic downturn, mounting inflationary pressures and increasing financial-market instabilities will not change rapidly, either.

The global economy and international factors have destabilized both commodity prices and their availability, which has a direct impact on many companies' bottom line. Commodity price fluctuations can be of particular concern and cause volatility of pricing. Coupled with potential hazards from man-made, natural, and technological means, supply-line sustainability and pricing can seriously affect corporate security and continuity of operations.

From container prices to warehouse loading, port-to-port shipping and transportation, commodity supply-lines have growing vulnerabilities and risks.
