Is your 2026 margin protected, or are you just "lucky"?
Labour arbitrage is no longer sufficient. Payroll savings are just the tip of the iceberg; beneath lies a +45% Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in tariffs, logistics, and energy.
You cannot make decisions based on yesterday’s data. A blockage in the Suez Canal or a new 10% tariff can wipe out your profitability in days. Operating without a “Tariff-Aware” footprint represents your biggest financial risk today.
This year’s executive agenda demands 5 concrete decisions:
📍 Map by Tariffs: Categorise your production by tax exposure and Friendshoring, not just by labour costs.
⚡ Strategic Energy: Lock in prices with long-term PPAs and on-site generation; cease viewing it as a variable expense.
🛣️ Logistics Redundancy: Activate your “Plan B” routes and alternative ports now.
📝 Resilient Contracts: Index clauses for carbon costs (ETS) and geopolitical risks.
📊 Cost Intelligence: Simulate scenarios in real time to act swiftly, not based on predictions.
At ERA Group, we give you the visibility needed to execute these trade-offs. Which of these points will you take action on?
