[Grammar] Correct use of apostrophe

[Gerrish8]

I'm trying to decide the correct use of an apostrophe in this sentence or indeed whether they are required at all. Should it be either...

(1) Apostrophe as marked on the word business's
ABC Ltd understand that people, and in particular their data, are a business’s greatest asset, whether that be their employees, customers, suppliers or partners.

or

(2) Apostrophe as marked on the word employees', customers', suppliers' or partners'
ABC Ltd understand that people, and in particular their data, are a business's greatest asset, whether that be their employees', customers', suppliers' or partners'.

or are they both correct/incorrect

Thanks in advance

Number one is correct. Number two isn't. Would "employees" and so on need an apostrophe if you re-ordered the phrase like this? Employees are a business's greatest asset.

It seems you mean employees, customers, partners simply as plural nouns, so you don't need apostrophes there.
