Business Continuity - Emergency and Crisis Management
GUARANTEEING BUSINESS CONTINUITY IN THE FACE OF RISKS
"At UniCredit, we are committed to supporting your business growth by helping you navigate any obstacles you may face along the way, including sudden disruptions to business continuity." Giovanni Maglia, Head of Business Continuity & Resilience
As one of Europe's largest financial institutions, it is vital that our operations are always up and running. Our Business Continuity Management colleagues provide tactical and strategic knowhow to always guarantee essential services, by supervisioning the activation of the available countermeasures, so that the bank and its customers can continue to work without any interruptions or issues. To guarantee a smooth and continuous operations, our dedicated team prepares alternative solutions that can be activated as and when needed.
UniCredit also has an Emergency and Crisis Management process in place, when more complex situations, such as real emergencies or even crises arise, and to tackle disruptions that cannot be resolved with pre-established solutions.
The emergency and crisis procedure is activated when events that may impact our organisation happen, and that require exceptional technical and/or managerial measures in order return to business as usual as quickly as possible. Should this take place, we can activate an escalation process to decide which extraordinary and timely measures to take depending on the type and on the severity of the crisis.
