Background
The EY organization welcomed the renewed interest from global trade executives for updated benchmarks and a fresh perspective on leading-class global trade organizational design. As a result, the EY organization dedicated its 2022 EY Global Trade Focus Day to global benchmarking.
For more than two decades, the EY organization has assembled select groups of key global trade executives from wide-ranging industries to examine leading practices and evolving strategies of global trade functions. Each participant company is an established global trader with import and export operations in multiple jurisdictions and recognized as an industry leader. In a discussion format facilitated by EY member firm professionals, participating executives described how they coped and adapted amid the rapid changes and are now focusing on the future of trade.
Our Refocusing on the global trade functional organization — a global trade perspective report summarizes these discussions and findings. We are confident that you will find the full report insightful and valuable to your organization. Readers of our previous benchmarking results have reported finding the information useful in not only being able to provide corporate executives a glimpse into the scope and breadth of challenges and activities faced by the global trade function, but also in their own look on how to further enhance their function through the incorporation of leading practices, as articulated by their peers.
As the conversation on leading class global trade functions and the associated building blocks continues to evolve and given the dynamic global trade landscape, the EY organization will continue to develop the results from the benchmarking survey with global trade leaders, publishing results when available.
