November 2021 | Managing Risk for Sustainable Business by Dr David Hillson

Everyone agrees that “Sustainability is A Good Thing”, reinforced by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the current emphasis on climate change, and the drive for green business. But our ability to achieve sustainability is uncertain, which has led to the development of Sustainability Risk Management (SRM).

If SRM is to be more than a label or the latest management fad, we need practical guidelines. In this keynote presentation, David Hillson describes a proven framework for SRM, based on the Five Capitals for Sustainability. Discover how a structured vulnerability assessment can be combined with the standard risk process to deliver sustainable projects, green businesses, and a better future for us all.
