Navigating Future Global Crises: Whitepaper with SafeRock

Navigating Future Global Crises: Whitepaper with SafeRock

IRI members collaborated with SafeRock CEO Shah Karim to produce a whitepaper entitled ‘Navigating Future Global Crisis: The Role of R&D’. The full whitepaper can be found here.

Recent crises have had a crippling impact on many sectors at the national and international level. These events include health, economic, and natural disasters such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, Ever Given blockage of the Suez Canal, Fukushima earthquake in Japan, and the sudden cold freeze in Texas. As a result, investors and corporate leaders are urgently looking for ways reduce risk and improve response in future.

The goal of this study is to help R&D teams and leaders anticipate and respond more effectively in future crises. We are building on the discussion from the IRI 2021 Annual Conference. The Study Team included twelve IRI member companies who compiled and shared lessons learned from these recent disruptions in order to improve our preparedness and response at scale in a future crisis at both the executive and operational levels. The participating companies include (in alphabetic order)  Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD), Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL), CrownCork (NYSE: CCK), Henkel, IRI, Johns Manville, Michelin, Michelman, SafeRock, Sonoco (NYSE: SON), USG, Vitro, and Xerox (NASDAQ: XRX).
