Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, women's strike movement activists held a peaceful demonstration in Gothenburg, Sweden, supporting women's rights and opposing violence against women. Due to the peaceful nature of the protest, the direct risk level to supply chains is low.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Port logistics stability: Gothenburg is one of Scandinavia's largest ports; although a peaceful protest, there is potential for minor impact on downtown traffic flow
• Automotive/Manufacturing: Potential for temporary impact on access to manufacturing facilities in the Gothenburg area, home to Volvo headquarters
• Nordic logistics hub: Protest occurring at a major logistics hub in western Sweden poses minor delay risks to land transport routes between Norway and Denmark
• Overall industry: Peaceful nature maintained so far with no substantial disruption to manufacturing and logistics operations

3. Watch points

• Protest scale expansion: Potential for solidarity demonstrations to spread to other major Swedish cities and whether logistics hub areas are included
• Port and transportation operations: Continuous monitoring needed of traffic conditions on Gothenburg port access routes and major highways
