Corporate resilience activities: Risk management vs. Revenue generation

March 18, 2026

We find that a large majority of listed companies have identifiable activities related to adaptation and resilience, with activities aimed at risk management of corporate operations and supply chain outweighing activities for revenue generation. Among the peer set analyzed, 89% showed evidence of at least one physical hazard-specific activity that enhances adaptability and resilience of their corporate operations. By contrast, just under half (47%) demonstrated activities tied to product offerings sold to customers to enable their resilience.
