Middle East Conflict: Fuel and supply chain risk implications for industry

Australian Industry Group presented this timely webinar to examine how fuel supply disruption linked to the Middle East conflict is affecting Australian businesses and their broader supply chains.

Fuel price volatility, rising surcharges, insurance withdrawal and emerging supply constraints are already affecting freight, construction, manufacturing and service delivery across the economy. Drawing on real time Australian Industry Group member intelligence and our direct engagement with governments, this webinar unpacked what the current fuel and petrochemical disruptions mean for supply chains, workforce mobility and business continuity - and what businesses can do now to manage risk, costs and uncertainty as conditions continue to evolve.

Presenters:

Louise McGrath
Head of Industry Development and Policy

Brent Ferguson
Head of National Workplace Relations Policy

Jeff Wilson
Head of Research & Economics

Tennant Reed
Director - Climate Change & Energy
