A BISG Supply Chain Lunch & Learn

Sustainability is a disruptive and unavoidable force. Although it is driven by concerns for the climate and often described in environmental and purpose-driven language, that misses—and obscures—the point for most companies.

Sustainability creates financial risks for companies, especially for companies that defer or fail to understand and model those risks. Risks that are modest today are expected to materially escalate over the next 18–24 months. Whether seen through the P&L, cost of money, or valuation, sustainability is already affecting (or will soon affect) financial results.

In this Lunch & Learn, Victor Milligan, who is a founder and Partner at Cairnbridge Advisors, a consultancy helping businesses model and minimize the risk presented by sustainability, and Gary Jones, a founder and partner at River Rock Advisors, a value chain consultancy leveraging insights and analytics for business decisions, joined forces to discuss how to understand and model risks, as well as different strategic options to address sustainability.
