Geopolitical Risk Management Framework

A geopolitical risk management framework is a systematic approach for identifying, assessing, and responding to how geopolitical events impact business operations. It includes monitoring political stability, tracking trade policy changes, ensuring sanctions compliance, and establishing supply chain disruption alerts to maintain operational resilience in complex international environments.

Taiwan's export-dependent economy faces US-China trade tensions, semiconductor restrictions, and ECFA suspension. Key risks include US tech export controls affecting semiconductor supply chains, cross-strait political tensions impacting investment strategies, EU supply chain due diligence requirements, and CBAM carbon border adjustments increasing costs. Companies need early warning systems to mitigate operational disruptions.

Key related standards include ISO 31000 risk management, ISO 28000 supply chain security, and ISO 37301 compliance management systems. International regulations cover US OFAC sanctions lists, EU Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive, UK Modern Slavery Act, and Australia Modern Slavery Act, all requiring systematic risk identification and response mechanisms.
