SenateSHJ Crisis Index

________________________________________

The financial fallout of corporate and reputation crises. 

Crises can smash reputations: they can hammer the bottom line and the balance sheet. Share prices tumble, taking years to recover, and in some cases they never do. Leadership decisions can make or break a company, not to mention the careers of those making them. Too often, companies underestimate the impact of a crisis and fail to be prepared and build resilience.

To help shine a light on the financial impact of a reputational crisis, SenateSHJ set out to quantify the financial impacts of crises. Over the past four years we’ve worked with data scientists to build the Crisis Index 300. It is the world’s first comprehensive database that analyses the impacts of over 300 listed company crises from around the world.

For the first time, business leaders, boards, executive teams, analysts, risk and communication professionals and the media can access this financial data on our interactive Crisis Index 300 platform.

The Crisis Index 300 captures data from 27 stock exchanges, spanning 32 industry sectors and eight categories of crisis. It provides a clear picture of the financial impacts companies face during and after a crisis.

By using the Index, you will be able to:

  • view the financial impacts of some of the biggest crises of the last several decades
  • quantify how different crises affected the share price, earnings per share and other financial metrics of the companies concerned
  • see how long each company’s share price took to recover to pre-crisis value – if it did
  • see the impact if the CEO left or stayed.
