Planning For Sustainability Risk

By attending this interactive training course, you will focus on sustainability risks. Few industries are immune to criticism that they behave irresponsibly. Whether it’s the retail "fast-fashion" sector being criticized for ignoring poor working conditions, or the waste of resources from the products it makes, the construction industry for pollution, unsafe working practices and lost-time injuries on their building sites, the petroleum industry for accelerating climate change – the scope for reputational damage is ever-present for the unwary company. So how can companies anticipate and plan for major sustainability risks turning into reality? And in a world that has not forgotten the Covid-19 pandemic, what are the sustainability risks linked to that ongoing threat?
