The issue of supply chain security is not the same everywhere, especially when the global and local dimensions are considered. The article discusses in detail the differences occurring in the perception of the problem of security, as well as in the evaluation of the most important threats to the supply chain. International regulations generally apply to the most commonly used modes of transport and to global threats such as terrorism. The local dimension, described on the example of Polish enterprises, involves other means of transport and occurring threats. Despite this, all companies are obliged to comply with international rules and procedures imposed by other countries which results in additional costs, but does not guarantee better protection in the local dimension. The article analyzes the possibility of filling this gap by voluntary initiatives instead of another international laws.
