Water Risk: Protecting Supply Chains, Operations and Growth
Water is critical to every stage of the food and drink value chain, from the production of raw materials through to manufacturing and distribution. As water scarcity intensifies, businesses must understand their exposure to water-related risks and identify practical strategies to build resilience.
With the cost of inaction rising, adaptation can not only safeguard operations and supply chains but also create value by avoiding future losses and costs.
Join this webinar to understand how water risk and resilience impacts your business and discover practical methods for risk assessments that inform business continuity planning, reporting and disclosures.
WSP's experts will:
- Present their latest findings on the costs of water-related climate risks and adaptation for food and drink businesses
- Explain the implications for operations and supply chains, including how to deal with uncertainty
- Share recent water-risk case studies from food and drink manufacturers and supply chains
- Provide practical, step-by-step methods for water risk assessment and mitigation planning
