A workshop held within the Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026 in Jeddah discussed ways to strengthen the security and reliability of supply chains during the Hajj season, supporting the operational readiness of the sector and its capacity to address risks affecting the flow of goods and services.
The session, titled "Supply Chain Security in the Hajj Season according to ISO 28000," reviewed the role of international standards in building systematic frameworks for supply chain security management and in developing organizational and operational practices that protect supply operations and sustain their continuity.
Supply chains carry particular weight during the Hajj season, given the number of participating entities and the diversity of services required by millions of beneficiaries, which calls for coordination among the parties involved, more efficient risk management and smooth operations across all stages of service delivery.
The ISO 28000 standard provides a framework for supply chain security management that helps organizations identify security risks, assess them and address them through an organized approach, raising the reliability of operations and supporting performance efficiency.
The workshop is among the specialized topics raised by the conference, which runs from 8 to 11 November at Jeddah Superdome, to review practices and standards that contribute to developing the Hajj system and strengthening the integration of its operational and service components.
