ACC AustraliaBeyond Compliance: Coronavirus, ESG, and the Redefining of Risk Management
The outbreak of the coronavirus has upended business worldwide and created an entirely new risk paradigm for companies with an international profile.
Prior to COVID-19, firms were already contending with unfamiliar regulatory, ESG, technological, and geopolitical challenges. Today, as firms plan for an even more uncertain future, what are the key reputational, stakeholder, and political risk issues that should be top of mind for corporate counsel?
Veracity Worldwide Asia-Pacific Director, Benjamin Weiss, will survey the new frontier of risk and offer strategies to help you and your business navigate them.
