The role of risk management in the sustainability transition

Postponed

In conversation with Impact Amplified, Dr Theresia Harrer will explore how reframing our approach to risk and embracing uncertainty can contribute to shifting the business pattern from extractive to regenerative.

More specifically the event will discuss the increased uncertainty in the business and regulatory environment, and what it entails for decision making in businesses. Are risk managers the unsung heroes of the sustainability transition and are organisations prepared to address the complex challenges that lie ahead of us?
