Balancing the scales: Navigating financial challenges in high-risk industries

Finance and risk leaders in the architecture, construction, and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries face multifaceted challenges, largely dictated by market volatility, regulatory changes, and technological disruption. In architecture and construction, fluctuating material costs and complex project timelines amplify financial risk. In CPG, rapid shifts in consumer behavior and preferences necessitate agile financial planning.

Regulatory compliance poses another hurdle; for instance, the push towards sustainability necessitates eco-friendly construction materials and biodegradable packaging, adding layers of complexity and cost. This sustainability factor also exposes companies to reputational risk if not managed adeptly. Additionally, the embrace of digital transformation, while offering efficiencies, presents its own risks, including cybersecurity threats. Navigating these challenges requires innovative strategies, robust data analytics, and proactive risk management to achieve financial sustainability and long-term growth.

  • How are organisations today currently balancing long-term sustainability goals with more immediate financial/business priorities? What KPIs are used to measure effectiveness?
  • What strategies are being employed to manage market volatility and fluctuating costs, especially in the context of sustainable materials and practices?
  • How are companies addressing cybersecurity risks while adopting digital technologies for financial and operational efficiency?
