Webinar description and learning objectives:
As the international community's policy responses to the situation in Ukraine takes shape, the impact of geopolitics on international business has become starkly apparent.
Whether in strategic consequences for firms exiting Russia, wider macroeconomic and financial markets volatility, severe impacts on key commodities and raw material markets, interruptions to cross-border transactions from financial sanctions and cyber or supply chain disruption - to name but a few - it's clear the business impacts of this geopolitical event touch nearly every aspect of corporate performance.
Geopolitics is becoming more unstable across the global economy, posing increasing difficulties for the many businesses who globalised their market presence, supply chains and support services in recent decades.
This challenges traditional risk management approaches, posing dilemmas and trade-offs for firms unfamiliar with managing risk, and seeking opportunities, in a more antagonistic geopolitical environment. That European governments are rapidly reconsidering energy policy shows that geopolitics increasingly affects the ESG landscape too.
During this webinar, we will look to provide thoughts on how Chief Risk Officers and Risk Functions can adapt approaches to support their organisations in this new era of geopolitics. Throughout an interactive session we will hear from leading experts on how to anticipate analyse and navigate these complexities, as well as opening the floor for insight-sharing and discussion with our panelists.
The webinar will help C-level and senior risk practitioners understand:
- The capabilities risk functions may need to anticipate geopolitical risks, related ESG issues and their transition impacts more effectively (and how to deploy them)
- How an effective Geopolitical Risk Framework can strengthen your organisation’s financial, operational and reputational resilience to external shocks
- How to establish the right responsibilities and accountabilities to manage geo-political and related ESG risks
