Roseau, October 19th, 2023- In the face of uncertainty, the Dominican business community must be ready to weather any storm. As Tropical Storm Tammy approaches and continues to navigate the challenges presented by the global economic landscape, businesses need to prioritize their resilience and sustainability. To that end, the Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC) reminds all of the climate resilience initiative aimed at ensuring that the business community is well-prepared through robust Business Continuity Planning (BCP).
In the wake of recent global events, the need for comprehensive business continuity planning has never been more evident. As business leaders, we must acknowledge that disasters, whether natural or man-made, can strike at any time. Being prepared is not just a proactive approach; it’s a strategic imperative.
The objectives of this initiative are clear:
- **Awareness:** To raise awareness among businesses of all sizes about the importance of Business Continuity Planning.
- **Education:** To provide resources and information on best practices and guidelines for creating a resilient BCP.
- **Support:** To assist businesses in developing and implementing tailored BCPs, ensuring they are well-prepared for any disruption.
DAIC together with the other Caribbean chamber of commerce and a team of experts in the field of Business Continuity Planning, risk management, and disaster recovery to guide and support the business community throughout this process. We are committed to assisting businesses of all sizes and sectors in the Caribbean.
By embracing Business Continuity Planning, businesses can:
- Safeguard employees and customers
- Minimize financial losses
- Maintain essential operations
- Safeguard their reputation
- Position themselves for a faster recovery
