Business Continuity Planning Task Force

As part of the work of the Economic Risk Management Group, co-chairman Piet Vanthemsche set up and took charge of the Business Continuity Planning Task Force to ensure that the coronacrisis crisis and the restrictive measures it has brought with it would not paralyse critical enterprises in Belgium’s economic production process.

In the first instance, the Task Force concentrated on the vital segment of the Belgian food sector and then gradually widened its focus and scope of action. Among its achievements was the compilation of a guide, together with the High Council for Prevention and Protection at Work, to help firms to safely continue or resume their business activities.
