How the Coronavirus Pandemic Affects Global Cargo Insurance Customers and Criminals

The SARS CoV-2 virus and its effects have rippled through economics, supply chains, and criminal enterprises. In this webinar, Bjorn Hartong, CPP, of Zurich Insurance's Risk Engineering Practice, will share how criminals have developed a successful business model out of supply chain optimization programs and how the coronavirus pandemic has affected supply chains and supply chain risk worldwide. This disruption of the supply chains has led to many challenges, and more are on the horizon. Creativity of production locations, stock locations, and modes of transport will most likely change the way both legitimate businesses and criminal enterprises operate moving forward.
