Strengthening Business Continuity in an Evolving Risk Environment

TORONTO, ON, MAY 20, 2026/insPRESS/ – As organizations face more complex operational risks, from cyber incidents and climate-related events to supply chain disruption and workforce challenges, business continuity playing a growing role in organizational resilience.

During Business Continuity & Resilience Awareness Week (BCAW+R) 2026, Ecclesiastical Insurance is highlighting the importance of proactive preparedness strategies that help organizations respond to disruption, maintain operations, and recover more effectively during periods of uncertainty.

This year’s awareness week encourages organizations to rethink resilience in the face of evolving threats and changing risk conditions. For many organizations, business continuity planning has evolved beyond a compliance exercise and become an operational priority tied to risk management, stakeholder confidence, and long-term sustainability.

“Organizations can’t always predict disruption, but they can prepare for it,” says Colin Robertson, Chief Experience Officer at Ecclesiastical Insurance. “Effective Business Continuity Planning helps organizations respond more confidently, reduce operational impacts, and continue supporting the people and communities that rely on them.”

To support organizations and brokers in these conversations, Ecclesiastical Insurance is sharing practical business continuity planning resources designed to help leaders identify vulnerabilities, strengthen response strategies, and improve organizational readiness.
