Risks
OEM faces supply-chain, transport and weather-related risks because it depends on a broad network of manufacturers and physical product flows to customers. As a trading group with decentralized local operations, it is also exposed to supplier concentration, product liability, regulatory compliance and execution risk in different markets.

OEM relies on physical sourcing, warehousing and transport across multiple countries.
Exposure: Upstream supply chain and own facilities

- Inadequate product labeling and safety informationImpact: MediumLikelihood: Medium
OEM sells components that are incorporated into finished products, so errors can create downstream safety issues.
Exposure: Own operations and downstream use
- Supplier and transport-related environmental exposureImpact: MediumLikelihood: Medium
The model depends on third-party manufacturing and road transport, which increases emissions and regulatory exposure.
