Oil Crisis 2026 – Pathways to Disruption Webinar

Wednesday 13 May 2026 - Online

This webinar examines the implications of sustained oil price volatility and supply disruption arising from the Iran conflict, with a primary focus on petrochemical exposure and downstream economic and insurance impacts for the Australian Food and Beverage industry. It highlights immediate cost pressures across fuel and freight, while addressing the escalating risk that prolonged disruption could constrain refined fuel and petrochemical supply into Australia, amplifying operational, supply chain and pricing pressures.
