A company’s brand and reputation needs to be actively managed like any other business asset. We know that a reputational crisis can impact revenue, profit, balance sheet resilience, share price and stakeholder trust. In this session, we will share cutting edge research that describes the financial impact of crisis events, supported by industry case studies, and we will explain how INC members can be a ‘winner’ in a crisis.

A team of Aon specialists will share insights on three types of crisis events that occur commonly in the food industry – product recall and contamination, how your business’s operating systems could be disrupted, and poor governance (the importance of Directors and Officers insurance). Over the course of the Masterclass, we will share practical tips and advice to help INC members understand, assess, quantify and manage their brand and reputation.

So join us on February 16 at 4pm CET for this exciting free webinar! Register Now!
