Strategic Business Resilience
Strategic resilience – the foundation of sustainable business value
Today’s dynamic macroeconomic, regulatory, and technological environment demands a new approach to management. Strategic Business Resilience is a proprietary practice developed by NGL Advisory, supporting clients in transforming resilience requirements, regulatory obligations, and transformational challenges into long-term competitive advantage and tangible growth in enterprise value.
At NGL Advisory, we understand resilience as an active, goal-oriented process encompassing:
- re-engineering business models
- developing strategies resilient to shocks
- optimizing capital structure and operating costs
- safeguarding business continuity in the face of complex market, operational and legal risks
Experience in key economic sectors
We have unique experience in advising on and implementing comprehensive resilience projects for leading organizations operating in the most demanding industries. We understand the operational specifics, regulatory challenges and risk profiles characteristic of individual sectors, e.g.:
energy and utilities
property and construction
transport, logistics and aviation
chemicals and pharmaceuticals
heavy industry
FMCG and the food industry
banking and finance
IT, telecommunications and the new technologies sector
RISK IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATION
- macroeconomic and market risks – volatility in commodity and energy prices, inflationary pressure, the reconfiguration of global supply chains, and changing end-consumer preferences
- regulatory and compliance risks – an increasingly stringent regulatory framework regarding the classification of economic activities (EU Taxonomy), due diligence in the value chain (CSDDD), the circular economy, carbon footprints and mandatory non-financial reporting (CSRD)
- energy and commodity risks – uncertainty regarding energy supply, volatility in energy and fuel costs, balancing requirements, and challenges associated with the energy mix transition
- operational, technological and digital risks – disruption to production processes, challenges relating to cybersecurity and critical infrastructure, availability of raw materials, and business continuity management requirements
- financial risks and access to capital – rising costs of traditional debt, stricter risk assessment criteria applied by banks and investors, and changes to asset structure requirements
