Governance in an Era of Trade Uncertainty: Navigating Tariff Risks and Opportunities

In today’s increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape, corporate boards are confronting an unprecedented level of risk. President Donald Trump’s signals of a return to aggressive protectionist policies, including heightened tariffs and a potential revival of the U.S.-China trade war, have already disrupted global trade flows, plunging markets and strategic planning into uncertainty. These policies significantly disrupt international trade, impact company supply chains, create financial volatility, and increase pressure from investors and other stakeholders. Boards must proactively address the broad-spectrum disruptions threatening operational continuity, market confidence, and stakeholder alignment.

This exclusive high-level session brings together board members and industry experts to dissect the resurgence of Trump-era tariffs and its far-reaching impact on global business dynamics:

• Enabling boards to assess and strategically respond to the risks and implications of tariffs and abrupt changes in trade policy.
• Navigating stakeholder messaging during political uncertainty.
• Emphasising vital lessons boards must heed to effectively manage future risks.
