Session Description

As regulatory expectations intensify and stakeholder scrutiny grows, managing social risks across global supply chains has become a strategic priority for the mobile sector

This strategic open roundtable convenes industry leaders, supply chain experts, and ecosystem partners to explore how organisations can move beyond compliance toward proactive risk management, supplier engagement, and long-term resilience

The session will focus on: 

  • Key social risk exposures across the mobile value chain  
  • Practical approaches to due diligence, monitoring, and remediation  
  • Opportunities for industry collaboration and shared standards  
  • Aligning supply chain practices with evolving global frameworks and expectations  
  • Introduce GSMA’s new social risk good practice guide to participants 

Drawing on emerging industry insights and good practices, the discussion will also highlight how organisations can strengthen both operational resilience and responsible business performance in an increasingly complex global environment.
