As the business world becomes increasingly global, environmental risks bring decision makers two key challenges:

• First they need to understand the environmental exposures that exist as a result of their local operations.
• Second, and not always as obvious, they need to develop a strategic plan for implementing an environmental risk management approach that takes into account the ever changing nature of environmental exposures. It’s important to realise that these exposures can shift due to changes in politics, regulations, product health and safety, and impacts to the environment, such as in the case of climate change.
