A new survey has highlighted inadequate storage, management and training for hazardous chemicals as a top 10 supply chain concern facing businesses in China.
The global supply chain experts Sedex partnered with risk analytics specialists Maplecroft in an extensive audit of 19,328 businesses in China.
