Future Global Risks
We explore findings from our 2021 Global Risk Management Survey, addressing the top 10 risks facing the Food, Agribusiness and Beverage (FAB) industry.
Rarely has the FAB industry been so challenged - by COVID-19, geopolitical crises, the race to digitalize, rapidly increasing cyber threats, the war for talent and the impact of climate change. Often viewed through an ESG lens, consumers, regulators and investors are making increasing demands on firms right across the sector.
In client discussions, common themes include ESG, growth and M&A, matching risk to capital, as well as protecting intangible assets as diverse as talent, intellectual property and supply chain technology.
These are complex and inter-connected risk and people themes, and FAB organizations will need to rapidly reevaluate their operations and strategies to established and emerging risks in order to continue to sustain the lives of people across the world.
As a growing global population demands food security, businesses need to set new standards in agility and innovation to capitalize on the opportunities presented by this era of volatility.

A company’s reputation needs to be actively managed like any other core asset with a process in place to identify risks. An ability to look ahead and pre-empt emerging risks is core to future success.
The pandemic has amplified a need for a robust cyber risk and supply chain strategies. For FAB businesses the cost of an operational breach is likely to be a multiple of the cost of an IT breach.
Changes in weather and climate are contributing to a volatile commercial environment. Investor pressure has led to CFOs to review weather related loss/business interruption and be held accountable if there’s no proactive measures in place.
Actions today will affect future financial, talent and enterprise risks. Issues around talent planning need to be tackled to ensure stability, resilience and future-proofing.
