As 41% of directors admit to requiring a better understanding of the regulatory environment, cybersecurity, climate and supply chain have been revealed to be among the most challenging due to the evolving regulatory landscape. In its latest report — 2025 Global Compliance Outlook — the governance and compliance experts at Diligent provide a regulatory round-up alongside actionable advice to get ahead.   

Amanda Carty, Managing Director of Strategic Market Solutions, at Diligent comments: “Organizations in 2025 are likely to face increased regulatory scrutiny and compliance demands due to growing pressure from regulatory bodies globally. The expansion of supply chain oversight, particularly with regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, will require companies to conduct more thorough risk assessments and enhance transparency in their operations."

Key Takeaways:

  • Diligent is focusing on four crucial risk areas to give businesses a competitive edge in 2025: 
    • Cyber resilience
    • AI usage
    • Supply chain
    • Sustainability
  • From the usage explosion of AI (where regulation is catching up) to escalating supply chain oversight due to growing geopolitical tides, compliance teams and risk managers face mounting pressure to stay ahead of emerging legal, financial and reputational risks.
