So excited to be running our annual survey with the Disaster Recovery Journal, not to mention that it's the business resilience year (woot!!). Worldwide operational resilience mandates have the potential to really shake up practices. But by how much? Your input is vital to help us gauge the state of business resilience. Take our survey and receive a complimentary Forrester report! #businessresilience #operationalresilience #businesscontinuitymanagement #operationalexcellence #crisispreparedness #crisismanagement Stephanie Balaouras Alla Valente Cody Scott Brent Ellis Madelein van der Hout

Businesses and other organisations are not prepared for weather-related disasters, with out-of-date business continuity plans failing to reflect the frequency of disruption of climate-related events, according to ACCA’s latest report, Weathering the Storm: Building Resilience Against Climate Disruptions. This new report paints a concerning picture of organisational preparedness, with only 20 per cent of businesses and other organisations surveyed identifying climate-related risks across their operations. Even more troubling is that a mere 17 per cent regularly rehearse their response to major disruptions, while 25 per cent have no mechanisms in place to build resilience at all. One of just three case studies in the report highlights how the Caribbean is bringing together diverse sectors to create a climate-smart region.

Save the date! 7 March 2024, from 4PM to 7PM CET (Zoom Online). Topic: Building resilient cities During this enlightening webinar, we will explore the intricate relationship between business continuity and urban resilience, with a special focus on the Disaster Resilience Scorecard designed specifically for cities. This innovative tool provides a comprehensive suite of assessments, empowering local governments to monitor their progress and challenges in adhering to the #SendaiFramework for #DisasterRiskReduction: 2015-2030. Through detailed evaluations, city officials can identify areas of strength and improvement in disaster preparedness and response, fostering a proactive approach to risk management. Throughout the session, we'll delve into the significance of aligning business continuity strategies with the Scorecard, showcasing how this integration can arm cities with the capabilities needed to adeptly navigate and mitigate a diverse range of disaster risks. By incorporating business continuity principles into their overall disaster resilience framework, cities can ensure the continuity of #criticalservices and functions during times of crisis, minimizing #disruptions and enhancing overall community #resilience. This engaging webinar can represent a first step towards bolstering disaster resilience within cities and communities. It will be an opportunity to gain actionable insights and valuable resources that can make a significant difference in the community's ability to thrive in the face of adversity. https://lnkd.in/g74j7AZj

Excellent message. The oil & gas companies are certainly working on it and are incorporating disaster risk management measures all the time.

🌊📉Disasters disrupt private sector growth and profitability – so private companies need to be part of an all-of-society approach to reduce disaster risks and build resilience. To foster public-private collaboration and encourage businesses worldwide to take proactive measures in preparing for and mitigating disaster risks, UNDRR has launched a Network of Corporate Chief Resilience Officers (CCRO). 🌐 "This network will accelerate the integration of disaster risk reduction into business models, ensuring that resilience is at the core of companies' decision-making," said Kamal Kishore, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction. ➡️ https://ow.ly/KhF750UaW7Q

Looking forward to representing Honeywell on this newly created United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Chief Resiliency Officer Network. I will be working with colleagues across industry sectors with a mission to provide Operational Risk thought leadership, frameworks, and operating models to the global business community to promote and deliver resilient, sustainable operations and communities in alignment with the Sendai Framework. With this mission in mind we will be releasing a Resilience Maturity Assessment (REMA) Tool in 2025 - more to follow on this. #Resilience #Risk #CrisisManagement

As a global agricultural company, we see firsthand how climate change impacts food security and growers’ livelihoods. Understanding our vulnerabilities is critical in a world where extreme weather events are rising. The U.N. reports 350 to 500 sizeable disasters over the past twenty years, five times higher than in the earlier three decades. The challenge is too big for states to tackle alone – that’s why public-private partnerships are key to mitigating risk. Syngenta is stepping up and joining the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)'s Network of Corporate Chief Resilience Officers. The Network will help businesses worldwide assess and mitigate their vulnerabilities. We also plan to integrate the learnings and tools developed by the Network to build a more resilient global food system and support our grower communities. Together, we can create a more secure and sustainable future for all.
