The geopolitical situation continues to harbor risk potential for the BLG Group in 2026. Geopolitical tensions threaten to further impair trade, for example through import and export restrictions on goods, and the conflict in the Middle East may lead to renewed supply chain disruptions and higher energy prices. Consequently, BLG LOGISTICS sees growing volume risks in its customer business going forward. The structural change in the automotive industry is also expected to gather momentum.
Given the tense situation, the risk of a cyberattack remains significant. BLG LOGISTICS sees an increasing focus on sustainability issues in the areas of environment, social and governance, which present both risks and opportunities for the BLG Group. These issues can have an impact on the overall risk situation, for example in financing, human resources policy, regulation and procurement. Medium-term climate change adaptation calls for special risk management for climate risks and the drafting of emergency plans.
As a result of demographic change, there is a shortage of certain skilled workers. In response, employee retention and recruitment measures have been given more attention.
The company’s transparent and systematic risk management with its structured processes contributes to efficient management of overall risks in the Group.
From today’s perspective and supported by the outcome of a risk-bearing capacity analysis at Group level, there are currently no risks that pose a threat to the continued existence of the company. Based on our medium-term planning and the uncertain geopolitical situation and taking the measures already initiated into account, there are currently no indications of any strategic or operational risks to future development that jeopardize the continued existence of the company as a going concern.
