Risk Mitigation and Adaptation.
This is about how to consider the ESG and sustainability risks and opportunities for Your business.
55% of GDP is at material risk from climate change/damage.
“Business as usual is no longer a viable option”. (source; United Nations).
Most SME’s do not have dedicated sustainability resources and risk being ‘blind’ to the issues that will impact their business. This session will shine a light on real sustainability driven risks to both manufacturing and service companies, large and small, including:
• Legislative risk
• Commercial risk/availability
• Right to BUY / Right to SELL
Attendees will leave with practical framework for action; to help you reduce risk and implement adaptation plans, to:
• Avoid economic loss
• Enhance resilience
• Identify opportunities for growth
