The Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) is prioritizing employee safety with its innovative disaster risk dashboard, designed to safeguard its workforce from the growing threats posed by climate-related disasters.
RCBC chief risk officer Gabby Tomas said as part of its climate risk management strategy, the Yuchengco-led bank uses the disaster risk dashboard to meticulously track the vulnerabilities of over 6,000 employees and 441 premises and offices across the country.
“This dashboard allows us to monitor and evaluate potential threats such as flooding, earthquakes, and volcanic activity in real-time, enabling us to preemptively position our disaster recovery and emergency response teams where they’re needed most,” Tomas said.
“We leverage data extensively to guide our mitigation and adaptation measures, ensuring that the safety and well-being of our employees and clients remain our top priority,” he added.
RCBC’s disaster risk dashboard integrates various tools, including Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards), the country’s primary disaster risk reduction and management program managed by the University of the Philippines.
The initiative also provides a comprehensive view of assets located in high-risk areas, enabling the bank to proactively implement safety measures and minimize potential damage.
