Quotables:

06:42 - "Having certainty that risks are under control is really important. So that's certainly something worth thinking about, in terms of what can you do, what can you systemise, what can you achieve in terms of partnerships with suppliers, what can you work on internally to get you that certainty?"

26:39 - "My question to the industry is if we are seeing this very consistent picture that we've got a problem here and it's our biggest cause of problem, and we're saying ourselves that it's our biggest risk of exposure, why do we think, a full two-thirds of us, that's there's not really much more we can do?"
