NEW YORK, January 21, 2015 – Global Finance magazine has announced its eighth annual rankings for the World’s Best Supply Chain Finance Providers in an exclusive survey to be published in the February 2015 issue. The award winners were revealed today at the BAFT Europe Bank to Bank Forum in Amsterdam.
Global Finance’s editorial team—with input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts—selected the best providers of supply chain financing and management services. A variety of subjective and objective criteria were used for choosing
the winners. Factors considered included: market share and global coverage, product innovation, customer service, technology, execution skills and client-specific implementations.
“Geopolitical risk has continued to rise over the past year—affecting some key basic commodities and manufacturing hubs. This highlights the critical importance of having and maintaining a secure supply chain,” said Joseph Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance. “One key element of this is ensuring that suppliers have the funding they need in order to operate effectively and efficiently. With these awards, we highlight those providers that are best helping clients to achieve this goal.”
