The Value Chain Risk to Resilience Initiative (“the Initiative”) is a collaboration of companies working to build climate resilience for communities, farmers, and workers across the value chain. In 2020, the Initiative developed a standardized framework to help companies assess and integrate climate risks into existing risk management systems and governance practices—providing the first steps in a company’s journey towards better understanding and managing its climate risks.
This webinar will provide an introduction to the Initiative, outline the business case for a climate-integrated approach to risk management and governance, and offer key insights and lessons learned through a Q&A panel with member companies. We believe sharing these insights can help companies, at all stages of their climate journey, make progress toward managing climate risk while building community, farmer, and worker resilience throughout the value chain.
