Is “Geopolitics” just a buzzword? “Geopolitical risk” is gaining the attention of board rooms and investors behind every global business. But how do companies actually manage geopolitical risk beyond having a retired ambassador brief the Board? Can big geopolitical issues, such as conflict in the South China Sea or aggression in the Baltic, actually be dealt with in day-to-day business practice the same way we treat traditional safety or security risks? In this session, members will take away:
- What other industries are doing about geopolitics: oil and gas, renewables, aviation, pharma, tech.
- Practical examples of geopolitical risk management playing a role in strategic planning
- What the maritime community is doing differently, for better or worse.
- How maritime companies can incorporate geopolitics into strategic planning.
