The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 is an annual ranking of the world’s leading companies in supply chain management—the companies that have built the best supply chains. This year’s list of the top 15 European companies was recently announced, and it includes one company that is half-Swedish.
The world’s supply networks are rapidly transforming due to new customer demands, increased risks, and a growing number of disruptions of various kinds and with varying impacts. Since March 2020 alone, global supply chains have been affected by a global pandemic, trade wars, Brexit, hurricanes, floods, shortages of raw materials, components, and transportation capacity, cyberattacks, major conflicts in Europe, an energy crisis, and much more. Against this backdrop, the resilience, sustainability, and agility of supply chains are the most critical characteristics. In Gartner’s ranking of the Europe Supply Chain Top 15, these characteristics have been given special consideration. The Swedish-British company AstraZeneca now ranks eighth.
