Mitigating Forced Labor Risks: Strategies for a Resilient Supply Chain
In his Talking Logistics interview with Adrian Gonzalez , Sung Choi , AVP of Solution Consulting at e2open, shared the primary challenges posed by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). He revealed that most companies lack visibility beyond their first-tier suppliers, a gap that could result in costly penalties. Choi underscored how e2open’s network-based technology offers a crucial advantage by providing real-time supply chain visibility and enabling companies to verify compliance across all tiers—a necessity given that Customs and Border Protection is now inspecting tens of thousands of shipments under these new regulations.
