Article
Supply Chain Transparency: The Next Competitive Frontier
For decades, transparency in supply chains was considered a nice-to-have rather than a business imperative. That is changing rapidly. Consumer expectations have evolved: a 2025 survey by the Consumer Trust Foundation found that 71% of respondents said they would pay a premium for products from companies that could demonstrate full traceability of their supply chains.
The shift is not only consumer-driven. Legislation in key markets is raising the bar. The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, set to fully take effect in 2027, will require large companies to identify and address human rights and environmental risks throughout their entire supply chain — not just their direct suppliers.
Technology is accelerating the transition. Blockchain-based platforms now allow companies to create immutable records of every stage of a product’s journey, from raw material sourcing to final delivery. Early adopters in the food and pharmaceutical sectors report that such systems not only satisfy regulatory requirements but also reduce the frequency of costly product recalls.
Critics note that implementation costs remain high, particularly for smaller companies. However, advocates argue that the long-term reputational and financial benefits far outweigh the initial investment. “Transparency is no longer a virtue — it is a business requirement,” said one industry analyst at a recent supply chain conference.
問題 27
What is the main argument of this article?
（A）Blockchain technology has made supply chains cheaper to manage.
（B）Supply chain transparency has become essential for modern businesses.
（C）Governments are doing too little to regulate corporate supply chains.
（D）Consumer demand for sustainable products has declined.
解答を見る
正解：（B）
冒頭〜末尾「transparency was considered a nice-to-have … is changing rapidly」→「Transparency is no longer a virtue — it is a business requirement」→ 透明性がビジネスの必須条件になっているという主張（B）。
問題 28
According to the survey, what percentage of consumers said they would pay more for traceable products?
（A）51%
（B）65%
（C）71%
（D）79%
解答を見る
正解：（C）
「71% of respondents said they would pay a premium for products … with full traceability」→ 71%（C）。
問題 29
What will the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive require?
（A）Companies to publish annual emissions reports
（B）Large companies to address human rights and environmental risks in their full supply chain
（C）All suppliers to achieve carbon neutrality by 2027
（D）Blockchain adoption for all companies operating in the EU
解答を見る
正解：（B）
「require large companies to identify and address human rights and environmental risks throughout their entire supply chain」→ 全サプライチェーンにわたる人権・環境リスクへの対応（B）。
問題 30
What benefit of blockchain-based platforms is mentioned in the article?
（A）They reduce the cost of raw material sourcing.
（B）They eliminate the need for external audits.
（C）They can help reduce the occurrence of product recalls.
（D）They make it easier to compete with smaller companies.
解答を見る
正解：（C）
「reduce the frequency of costly product recalls」→ 製品回収の頻度を減少させる（C）。
問題 31
What does the industry analyst most likely mean by “Transparency is no longer a virtue — it is a business requirement”?
（A）Businesses that are transparent tend to have more virtuous employees.
（B）Being transparent used to be optional but is now obligatory for companies.
（C）Regulations have made transparency unprofitable for most businesses.
（D）Supply chain transparency was never truly voluntary in the past.
解答を見る
正解：（B）
「no longer a virtue（美徳ではなくなった）→ a business requirement（ビジネスの必須条件）」→ 以前は任意だったものが今は義務化されている（B）。冒頭の「nice-to-have → business imperative」の変化と対応。
