At a European Policy Centre conference, NATO's military chair, Admiral Rob Bauer, emphasized the need for businesses to prepare for wartime scenarios. He warned of potential vulnerabilities stemming from dependencies on Russian and Chinese supplies and urged companies to reassess their production and distribution strategies to ensure sustainability amid geopolitical tensions and military threats. The Admiral's remarks come in light of ongoing conflicts, particularly the war in Ukraine, suggesting that an organization's choices might have broader implications for national security.
