A resilient supply chain is not one without risk. It is one in which risk can be seen, assessed, accepted, and mitigated.
This was the starting point for Olivier Tichit, Director – Communications and Sustainability, Musim Mas, at the Institute of Enterprise Risk Practitioners Global Conference 2026, where he shared Musim Mas’ approach to building resilience across a complex palm oil supply chain.
At the heart of this approach is a simple equation: Trust = Assessment + Verification + Engagement + Accountability
For , trust does not mean accepting risk blindly. It is built through the systems and processes that enable us to understand our supply base, assess risks, verify information, engage suppliers to address gaps, and hold them accountable for progress.
And because risk can never be fully eliminated from a complex, evolving supply chain, the objective is not perfection. It is building the resilience and confidence to manage risk as it changes. Trust, in this context, is not simply a sustainability principle. It is a strategic asset.
