What’s new: In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders Liz Henderson and Susan Doering examine how climate risk is redefining decision-making across the food, agribusiness and beverage (FAB) sector — and what it takes to stay ahead.

Rather than viewing climate as a standalone exposure, the conversation frames it as a force shaping pricing stability, operational continuity and workforce strategy. Liz and Susan discuss how organizations can translate insight into action by strengthening data capabilities, aligning cross-functional priorities and deploying innovative risk transfer solutions. The focus is not only on managing disruption, but on unlocking greater certainty, protecting margin and positioning for long-term growth.

Key Takeaways:   

  1. Climate risk is reshaping core business functions — from supply and pricing to talent — requiring leaders to embed it into enterprise decision-making, not manage it at the margins.
  2. Leading organizations are accelerating the shift to analytics-led strategies to help guide investment, inform planning and create confidence in uncertain conditions.
  3. Collaboration across the value chain — coupled with more sophisticated risk transfer solutions — is enabling organizations to stabilize supply, protect capital and pursue growth with greater certainty.
