Build trust with suppliers

Supply chain management is a shared issue, so build strategic partnerships with your key suppliers. They’re more likely to follow your approach to supply chain security when it takes account of their needs as well as your own. Encourage and value their input, and share security issues with them. Maintain regular and effective communication.

It’s ok to let suppliers manage sub-contractors for you, but require them to report on security performance.
