Sustainability risk is business risk
Sustainability risk is business risk. Companies are vulnerable to disruption to their business activities from a wide range of sources, this includes climate change, nature loss, and human rights issues. Much of this exposure to risk is ‘hidden’ as it materialises in a company’s supply chain. For example, a company may be exposed to economic disruption many tiers up their supply chains from sustainability-related risks in seemingly unrelated countries and sectors. This disruption can work its way to the company’s operations affecting its ability to conduct business, and reducing its ability to make a profit. Better understanding and managing these risks will enable better risk management, and more resilient businesses. Join us for a 30-minute discussion as we explore the often-hidden sustainability risk to businesses, including what they are and how they can be identified and managed.
