On May 13, Inspectorio released their State of Supply Chain 2026 report, “The Proof Gap in Global Supply Chains: What It Takes to Turn Traceability and Sustainability Ambitions Into Verifiable Results,” which provides a landscape analysis of the current state of global traceability and sustainability.
The report reveals that current supply chain systems aren’t modernized, centering on sustainability at the supplier level rather than the product level. This issue sustains the gap as both the data and relationships at various levels of the supply chain are structurally mismatched.
Within the analysis are strategic observations from WRAP President & CEO Avedis Seferian on the reality of the supply chain through a social compliance lens.
“Lingering uncertainty means you are constantly in a state of reacting rather than being able to plan. A lot of long-term projects and investments that were being considered have been paused, because you can’t plan if you don’t know what the steady state is going to be.” WRAP President & CEO Avedis Seferian
Read the full report for further insights into the structural gap between what the supply chain and sustainability has promised and if they are built to deliver.
