Description

The news on ESG/Sustainability is often dominated by a focus on carbon emissions (net zero) and legislation on carbon reporting and disclosure. Increasing legislation around biodiversity, deforestation and chemicals will impact on cost, availability and present significant risk to business if they do not plan ahead.

But, unprecedented supply chain disruption and evolving legislation impacts service businesses too; directly, and their B2B clients. This session is about understanding the practical risks to both manufacturing and service-based businesses – with real-world case studies of when it goes wrong – but also how to identify risk mitigation and commercial opportunity.

Overview

So, what are some of the emergent risks in terms of materials and chemicals. What will be the risks to the products and services you source and supply; where do you start?

We will cover some of the risks from new deforestation regulations to some of the “largest ever chemical legislation” which will include packaging, timber, leather, food, fire-retardants and non-slip coatings and therefore cover practical and pragmatic steps and risk reduction and adaptation frameworks to avoid economic loss (and capitalise on new opportunities).
For service-based companies how will this impact your clients and the services they will need (or can afford) and how can you turn potential risks into commercial opportunity.
Discussion will be encouraged.
