Business Analysis and Priority Assessments

We analyze our business operations to maximize positive impacts and to minimize negative impacts if a disruption were to occur. We prioritize our areas of focus based on numerical assessments of likelihood and impacts to life safety, image and reputation and financials.

Plans and Exercises

Groups document their resilience and crisis plans, including regular training and exercises. The plans build awareness and knowledge about how best to handle risks and opportunities. Training covers key roles and responsibilities, action protocols and procedures for handling site-specific scenarios.

We also conduct simulation exercises, at least annually, to test the effectiveness of plans for a wide range of potential disruptions. This includes disruptions caused by events such as equipment failures, externally provided products, processes and services, natural disasters, fires, utilities, labor shortages, IT issues and cyberattacks.

Incident Notification

We utilize multiple internal and external alert systems to notify us if there are incidents at or near our sites so responses can begin quickly at the local, regional or global level. We also use a geographic information system that includes the latitudes and longitudes of our suppliers so we can identify incidents that may affect them.
