Managing value in an era of increasing physical risk and impact in value chains

Executive Roundtable

7 May, 12.30pm – 2.00pm (by invite only)

This invitation-only discussion will convene CFOs, executives and ecosystem leaders to explore how they are leading a response to support adaptation, resilience and value creation that is recognized by financial markets and what collaboration is needed to further resilience and adaptation within Singapore and beyond. ​

There is clear evidence of how physical impacts are damaging businesses and global value chains in the present. In 2024, the World Metrological Organization reported that Asia was the world’s most disaster-affected region in 2023 due to weather, climate and water-related hazards. Asia is heating up faster than the global average with profound consequences for societies, economies and human lives.  ​

These acute and chronic risks are driving incased impacts that can cause interruptions in the availability of raw materials, supply chain interruption, deterioration of physical assets, labour shortages or shifts in consumer demands, all with the potential to drive significant financial losses.  However, both companies and capital providers point to insufficient visibility on these risks and impacts as a barrier for action and a source of financial risk, with wide-reaching implications for corporate value.  This discussion is closed door and by invitation only.
