The correct answer is B. Integration of sustainability and promotion of risk culture. ISO 31000 emphasizes that risk management should be integrated into organizational activities, including performance management, decision-making, and strategic planning. Embedding climate-related considerations into performance measures reflects the integration of sustainability-related risks into the organization’s risk management and performance framework.
At the same time, fostering open communication about risks across all organizational levels aligns with the development and promotion of a positive risk culture, which ISO 31000 identifies as a key enabler of effective risk management. A strong risk culture encourages transparency, awareness, and proactive engagement with risk, supporting resilience and informed decision-making.
Option A focuses on learning and collaboration, which are important but do not directly address sustainability integration and risk culture. Option C emphasizes technology and compliance, which are supporting elements but not the core practices described. Option D refers to specific risk treatment options rather than organizational practices aimed at resilience.
From a PECB ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager perspective, integrating sustainability considerations and promoting a strong risk culture enhances the organization’s ability to anticipate, respond to, and adapt to evolving risks such as climate change. Therefore, the correct answer is integration of sustainability and promotion of risk culture.
