Supply Chain Security

Supply Chain Management with political Risk data

PART OF YOUR VALUE CHAIN IS LOCATED ABROAD?

Then political stability and resilience are a real location advantage!

  • Poli­tical violence (war, terrorism, major unrest) can cause significant damage to companies in all sectors, unsettle investors and reduce the availability of qualified local workers
  • Corruption, protests, and strikes affect the efficiency of administrative institutions negatively and complicate market entry substantially
  • Strikes and blockades, but also attacks on critical infrastructure, can disrupt or even interrupt production, supply chain and lines of communication

Political violence does not appear from nowhere

The good news is: Political crises often announce themselves before an actual escalation and are therefore predictable. Moreover, conflicts are much more dynamic than we think, both in terms of escalation and de-escalation cycles as well as geographical spread and spillover. We identify in any country those areas, where the physical safety of employees as well as the entire supply chain network are at risk in the medium and the long-term. Our approach is based on our MBI CONIAS conflict and risk data, and on the grounds of reliable and well-tested research methods. The result is our product SURE (Subnational Resilience Index).

Site security through data-based solutions

Interdisciplinary, scientifically based and methodologically comprehensive approach

Your company is building a new global supplier network and wants to enter into medium- or long-term partnerships?

By taking into account all conflicts that are currently significant for the security situation in a region, we are able to make statements about

  • whether the potential supplier is located in a region that is continually stable or whether you have to deal with politically-induced disruptions or interruptions in production and delivery,
  • whether the business partner or your own production facilities can be safely reached for transport,
  • which parts of the country to consider for medium- and long-term strategic expansion of your production and supply chain network,
  • which parts of the country are currently and in the medium-term affected by political violence to such an extent that investments in this area should be avoided.

What characterizes the SURE data set?

Our unique, award-winning and constantly evolving approach to analysis combines a wealth of data with up-to-date evaluations and accurate calculations.


The Subnational Resilience (SURE) Index combines information on a country’s economic, political and demographic development – which are significant elements for long-term stability – in combination with the specific conflict experience of the individual subnational regions within the country.

The MBI CONIAS Risk Intelligence dataset on political instability is especially suited for all specialized digital geography applications. The basis is the data from MBI CONIAS on global political conflicts, which is also used by DAX companies in supplier evaluation.
