Webinar Iranian Fuel Crisis: The Impact on Manufacturing, Supply Chains and Modern Slavery Risk

Fuel volatility is placing growing pressure on manufacturing, logistics and supply chains across Asia. As operating costs rise, businesses may face production delays, higher transport costs, material shortages, shipping surcharges and increased pressure on sourcing decisions.

These disruptions do not only affect business continuity. They can also heighten labour vulnerabilities and increase the risk of modern slavery in manufacturing supply chains.

Join The Mekong Club for a public webinar exploring the impact of the Iranian fuel crisis on manufacturing, supply chains and modern slavery risk. The session will be led by Matt Friedman, CEO & Founder of The Mekong Club, and Saalim Mohamed Abdulla, Data Scientist at EiQ by LRQA.

In this session, we will explore:

• How fuel volatility is disrupting manufacturing and logistics across Asia
• Why rising operational pressure can increase modern slavery risks
• How data-driven risk analysis can help brands identify emerging vulnerabilities earlier
• What businesses can do to protect workers while maintaining supply chain continuity
• Practical strategies for ethical sourcing, transparency and grievance mechanisms

As the crisis continues to reshape the operating environment, companies need to respond with both resilience and responsibility. This webinar will offer timely insights for businesses, NGOs, practitioners and stakeholders seeking to navigate disruption while safeguarding labour standards.
