The IRM is uniquely positioned to enhance the standing of risk management as both a discipline and a science. Our focus on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) enables organisations to adopt a holistic approach, linking risks across operations to achieve a balanced and sustainable strategy
There is a whole ecosystem and a societal impact around such risk management issues, and that is what ERM is used for. With sustainability at the forefront of most business priorities, effective risk management has become indispensable.
