Sustainability Factors in Business Risk and Mitigation
This course provides delegates with a thorough grounding in ‘unconventional’ risk associated with environmental rather than directly financial considerations, and how these link to activities within organisations and along their supply chains. The course will also cover the management of relationships with suppliers in a risk context and discuss approaches to risk mitigation along supply chains.
The course will consider a range of risk types and stakeholder attitudes and how businesses can reduce exposure or mitigate impact. Although the main focus is environmental risk, the trainer will explain how societal and governance issues interlink with these and with conventional financial risks and how these need to be integrated into an organisation’s risk management processes for them to be effective.
