Pre-Conference Workshop 1:
From Traditional BCM towards a more proactive Disaster Risk Management
24th August 2016 | 9 am - 12.30 pm
Being able to estimate and manage disaster risks can be a vital skill-set to businesses. This will reduce the vulnerability of their investments, facilities, supply chain and all possible risks.
Enterprises will be able to recognise that investing to avoid shared risks and costs and to address underlying risk drivers, in partnership with the public sector and civil society, is not only good but rather essential for business itself. Unless those shared risks are transformed into shared values, future business will not be competitive, sustainable or resilient
Is your business ready for the 'new normal' of escalating disaster and climate risk? In 2013 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned that direct economic losses from disasters 'are out of control'. In the three years since that costly trend continues to escalate, in particular here in Asia, the epicentre of wealth creation and disaster losses.
Attend this workshop and get to know more about the importance of disaster risk reduction for your business and investments as well as how it:
- Protects your business and its reputation
- Can make money for your business
- Saves your business money in avoided losses
- Works best in partnership with the public sector
- Is increasingly seen as an investment and not a cost by enterprises across the region
