fastTrack webinar: Defining and managing reputational risk and insurance

Reputational risk has become one of the most critical challenges facing organisations today, influencing everything from sales and profitability to share price performance and long term stakeholder trust. In an environment where expectations are rising and scrutiny is relentless, boards are increasingly required to demonstrate proactive oversight, credible crisis planning and transparent communication strategies to protect brand equity and leadership credibility.

This webinar brings together industry specialists to explore how reputational risk is rapidly evolving and why traditional risk frameworks are no longer enough. 

We’ll examine how social media accelerates negative narratives, often before facts are established, and how influencer activism and cancel culture can escalate crises within hours.

Against a backdrop of heightened regulatory and legal scrutiny, we’ll discuss the rise of claims for ESG misstatements, greenwashing, AI washing and tariff washing, where poor decisions or unclear messaging can trigger investigations, shareholder action and market reactions. 

The session will also cover the long tail reputational impact of cyber breaches, where operational disruption quickly becomes a prolonged reputational event, as well as the sensitivity and potential severity of abuse allegations, which require expert handling to preserve trust.
