Sanctions

Sanctions are being used in international politics at an increasing rate and ever more intensively. The USA and the EU, in particular, apply this tool in answer to global geopolitical tensions, bilateral conflicts and wars, and human rights violations by authoritarian regimes. At the same time, sanction regulations are becoming increasingly complex, their impact is often different than intended, and consequences for business activities are difficult to evaluate.

This results in two risk constellations for business activities. First, there is the risk of carrying out a transaction that violates sanctions. Second, there is the risk of not carrying out a transaction even though there are no sanction provisions to prevent it.

In the event of violations of sanction provisions, this can lead to reputational risks, liability risks and financial risks due to blacklisting. Conversely, forgoing a business opportunity also has negative consequences, such as the loss of sales or even market share when competitors step in.

Sanction risk affects all companies with international business relationships.
