Business sustainability risk affects every aspect of a company.  While some of these threats may be obvious, other hidden and potentially more disruptive risks may prove to have the greatest impact to short and long-term business sustainability.  For this very reason, many surveys indicate that more than 50% of global senior executives say their company has a formal sustainability strategy in place and an additional 31% plan or expect to adopt one.

Digging into the ‘day-to-day’ details of these threats to unprepared organizations or traditional business models, one can easily quantify the value of business sustainability risk management.
 
•    Controlled operating cost and supply costs
•    Managed disruptions to supply or loss of supplier relationships
•    Minimized loss of revenue or market share

As described in the Supply Chain Management Review, business sustainability risk mitigation has elevated from a compliance activity to an integrated philosophy essential to a company’s strategic planning process.
