Workforce Health Across the Value Chain 2025

Analysis by Sentrisk, Marsh’s new supply- chain risk management platform , shows the degree of impact for two major industries South-East Asia is especially prone to hazards such as flooding, which could interrupt operations for months, and extreme heat, which diminishes productivity and erodes worker health. The region hosts growing production of electronic integrated circuits and related components and disruption to these would affect a wide variety of companies across the globe. Insights for flooding and heat risks are presented below for the technology and automotive industries. Technology For a sample of a dozen global technology firms, none with significant direct operations in South-East Asia, nearly 15,000 locations of upstream suppliers (predominantly Tiers 2 and 3) were identified in Thailand, Malaysia and Viet Nam. Of these, around 7,000 sites are at a elevated risk of river flooding and around 1,000 are at elevated risk of coastal flooding. Severe flood instances could lead to between five and seven weeks of downtime to operations and as many months for high-severity coastal flooding. Indirect impacts resulting from the disruption – on worker health, infrastructure or local services – could further amplify the number of lost production days. In the maps the darker the dot the higher the risk of flooding or extreme heat. Risk encompasses both the likelihood of peril occurring and the severity of occurrence.
