Transverse by nature, Illicit Trade is a problem for businesses in many ways : supply chain integrity, possible grafts in purchasing, unfair competition, risks of diverted products toward Illicit Trade circuits by fraud or theft. All corporate functions are concerned to combat this issue : safety and security, compliance, quality control, ethics, legal, let alone operational units like sales ans supply chains that can involve the enterprise, unbeknown to it, into an Illicit Trade scam…

Businesses do not lack responses to that challenge but suffer from a poor coherence and efficiency in tackling Illicit Trade. Whereas the concept of global protection is taking root in Anglo-saxon countries, it is still mostly ignored in our gallic and feudal country, France ! This why ITTA/ALCCI, with the help of heads of the protection of business, training and information, engages in a process of awareness with the breakfast meeting of May 31st : « What organization for the enterprise versus Illicit Trade ? » Let’s hope this forst step will allow the actors to do versus Illicit Trade what the defense sector has done in unifying the arms systems in the infocentered war.
