We work hard to help our clients build reputation within their field. Once this reputation is established, protecting it can mean the difference between commercial success and failure. Res Publica consultants have worked with management in a range of industries (including food & beverage, infrastructure, private equity, technology, aviation, financial services and sport) to identify potential issues and implement strategies to manage them. In each case, we develop programs that help ensure that corporate practice meets stakeholders’ expectation that issues will be managed properly.
Should an issue escalate, we work swiftly to minimise its impact by ensuring that there is an on-going, direct flow of accurate and pertinent information to key stakeholders such as employees, consumers and shareholders. We also manage the timely flow of information to, and management of, external stakeholders, including media and government.
Our issues and crisis management experience covers (but is not limited to):
- Product withdrawals
- Class actions
- Industrial disputes
- Trade Practices litigation
- Industrial sabotage
- Major accidents and disasters
We review issues and crisis management practices for many of the major corporations with which we work – at least annually – as part of their risk audit and, in the case of public companies, their reporting requirements.
