In response to these environmental changes, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is examining and promoting the 'Security Measure Evaluation System for Supply Chain Enhancement (SCS Evaluation System)'. Going forward, accountability for security measures is expected to become more important than ever in B2B transactions, procurement, and outsourcing. This seminar will not merely treat the system as a 'new requirement' but will clearly organize the following perspectives in a dialogue format, considering that the prerequisites in business transactions are changing. - Social background and aims of the system: Why this system is required 'at this timing' - Philosophy and overall picture of the system: Intentions behind the evaluation stages and the ideal state of development companies should truly aim for - Ripple effects on practice: What kind of changes it will bring to corporate/organizational business relationships and practices - Preparations to start now: What companies should understand and how to prepare from now on This content is recommended for those who want to clarify what should be grasped from a business transaction perspective for the upcoming era of stronger accountability, rather than starting after the system goes into full swing. ## Event Details (Table content)
