Invasion of Ukraine and Supply Chain Impacts.

Survey Results.

Image

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is exacting an immediate toll on people in the region and throughout the world. Many of our members and their associates have family and friends living in Ukraine and Russia. Thousands of those based in Europe express stress and anxiety about being so close to the front lines of this Russian aggression.

We don’t yet know how extensive or protracted the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will be. Depending on your functional responsibilities, your focus may be on risk exposure, costs, investments, revenue disruptions, supply-chain struggles or value-chain partners. You may be grappling with other operational changes, too.

Supply Chain Canada surveyed its members to learn more about these impacts.
