At CPO Outlook 2025, Prewave will host a Theme Discussion on one of procurement’s toughest challenges: managing risks beyond tier 1 suppliers. Teodor Bretvold, Account Executive Nordics, will lead the session “How can we see and act on supplier risk — beyond tier 1?”
Why this matters
Most procurement teams still concentrate their risk management efforts on tier 1 suppliers. But hidden ESG violations, supply disruptions, and critical dependencies often lie in tier 2 and 3. Without visibility across multiple tiers, organizations put business continuity and reputation at risk. Prewave enables proactive insights across supply chains through AI and media scanning, but integrating this intelligence into procurement decisions remains a challenge.
What will be discussed
- How are you uncovering risk beyond tier 1 — and what’s working?
- What’s preventing multi-tier risk data from influencing procurement actions?
- Who should own sub-tier visibility and accountability in your organization?
