Supplier continuity management
A critical part of our business continuity management system is controlling supplier continuity. We have a documented process by which we identify, solicit, and analyze suppliers’ business continuity programs and determine risk, risk strategy, and mitigation plans, as necessary.
Our business continuity oversight leadership is structured as follows:
Organization of business continuity management
Executive sponsor: Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Steering committee: Executive representatives from key business functions, ensuring sustained advancement of the business continuity management system
Business continuity owner: Lead for the Business Continuity Program Office and Chair of the Business Continuity Steering Committee
Business continuity primes (BCPs): Plan Owners representing each of the functional areas of the business. Maintenance of the BCP occurs following annual review/updates within business-as-usual schedules and activities.
