A very strong El Niño is on its way. Is your business ready?
El Niño is expected to strike hard this year, with impacts lasting into 2027. Some regions face drought and extreme heat, others heavy rain and flooding. For businesses, that means risks to water, power, supply chains, staff and customers.
On the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, CBI and the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) are co-hosting a webinar on what businesses and private sector networks can do now to prepare and respond.
