    THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: What is most critical in building enduring, resilient businesses?

    Rene Buehlmann CEO, Asia Pacific abrdn

    In our experience, companies with stronger governance structures, which embrace diversity and sustainability, and which have a long-term mindset and perspective, are often more resilient and tend to perform better in the long run. It's vitally important that companies recruit people with diverse skills and empower them to think as owners, and nurture a culture of long-term resilience and adaptability. On top of this, there needs to be a strong and consistent message on sustainability across the organisation, and so leadership and tone from top are important in driving this.
