Topic 3: The Future of Risk – Food & Beverage Distributors
Guest Speaker 1: Ms Sarah Koo, Food & Beverage Industry, Practice Leader (Asia), Marsh Singapore
Guest Speaker 2: Mr Lim Sek Seong, BCM & Resilience Service Leader (Asia), Strategic Risk & Resilience Practice, Marsh Singapore
The Halal food industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally and the increased demand for Halal Food is presenting massive opportunities for business owners in this sector. It is no surprise to observe strong emphasis placed on growing the business but it is even more important to have a sound risk management framework to ensure sustainability in the long run. With evolving consumers’ demographics, supply chain disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, a shift in the technology landscape, and the rise of environmental, social, and governance accountability, business owners need to be nimble and agile to react to these challenges. Yet at the same time, you need to have the ability to identify risks and their potential impact and the knowledge of transferring these risks through alternative risk solutions.
