Question 1 of 30
EcoFest, a large-scale music festival committed to ISO 20121:2024 event sustainability standards, has identified a significant risk: the potential for a major disruption in the supply chain of ethically sourced and biodegradable food packaging. A recent risk assessment, conducted according to ISO 31000:2018 guidelines, reveals that this disruption has a \"high\" probability of occurrence due to increasing global instability and a \"severe\" potential impact on the festival\'s waste reduction and carbon footprint goals. The festival organizers, led by sustainability manager Anya Sharma, are now evaluating different risk treatment options. Anya needs to present the most appropriate risk treatment strategy to the festival\'s board of directors, ensuring alignment with the principles of ISO 31000 and the specific requirements of their ISO 20121 certified ESMS. Considering the risk\'s characteristics and the organization\'s commitment to sustainability, which risk treatment option should Anya recommend as the primary strategy?
Implement a strategy to completely eliminate the reliance on the specific at-risk supplier by redesigning the food service model to use reusable containers and on-site washing facilities, thereby avoiding the risk entirely.
Negotiate a risk transfer agreement with the packaging supplier, shifting the financial burden of a supply chain disruption to them through contractual penalties and insurance policies.
Develop a contingency plan that includes identifying alternative, less sustainable packaging options as a backup, accepting the potential negative impact on the festival's environmental footprint in a worst-case scenario.
Invest in enhanced monitoring and early warning systems to detect potential supply chain disruptions, aiming to reduce the impact through proactive communication and adjustments to inventory levels.
