Shared responsibility

Quelle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_responsibility

In a logistics or supply chain context, shared responsibility refers to the allocation of duties, risks, and obligations among multiple parties (e.g., shipper, carrier, forwarder, consignee). Each party bears specific contractual duties and liabilities, so no single actor bears all risks or responsibilities.
