Business Continuity Level of Quezon City in the Advent of Environmental Catastrophe Towards Business Sustainability Development
With the increasing impact of natural and manmade disasters, the disruption of the normal course of the economy is inevitable. These disasters usually impact businesses, interrupting their normal functioning, rendering them unsustainable. The research sought to determine the level of business sustainability in the advent of environmental catastrophe in the selected locality, Quezon City, Philippines. The special concern of the study is the neutralizing of the effect of disasters in the industry through business continuity plans and strategies. This study used descriptive research method to determine the readiness of companies and entities towards business continuity in the event of a disaster. The study is limited to the most disaster-prone areas of the Quezon City which includes Aurora Boulevard Cubao, Ma. Clara Corner Araneta, Biak na Bato, Roxas District, and Commonwealth Avenue Corner Tandang Sora. These areas have establishments ranging from private schools, construction supplies shops, foundations, recruitment offices, drug stores and groceries. A survey was conducted with two target groups of respondents from each of the abovementioned establishments. Answers of the respondents were measured in terms of weighted means. The source variable under in-house and financial capabilities and support showed significant differences in perception from the supervisory and regular staff of the selected establishments. Environmental awareness showed similar perception for both respondents indicating their full knowledge and preparedness to ensure business sustainability. The study recommends employee briefings for environmental awareness and planning. Businesses should have in-house capability through acquiring best skills in counter-balancing difficulties caused by environmental adversities. Further, establishments should strengthen their decision on counteracting all forms of possibilities during and after calamities towards Business Continuity aligned with achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). More intensive empirical studies should be done to cover pandemic impact on the business continuity strategy.
