“Deadfall: The Hidden Risks Facing the World's Leading Multinationals, from Forced Labour to Narcotics Trafficking” with Cam Simpson, Bloomberg Businessweek. Globalisation has yielded tremendous benefits for multinational companies, but also some of their greatest operational risks, especially when it comes to reputational concerns and those of environmental and social governance. As these concerns become more significant in today's global markets, Cam Simpson talks about how and why huge blind spots exist and persist for the world's leading companies.
