INFLUENZA A PANDEMIC - LATIN AMERICA - 2009
The Mexican Ministry of Health declared the first cases of Influenza A. The disease gradually spread around the world. Governments introduced a range of measures (information, security, safety).
All sectors of the economy were affected. As a precautionary measure, the Mexican branch of the GEOS Group activated its crisis management platform to respond to demands from clients seeking to protect employees and ensure business continuity.
To this end, GEOS Mexico, with backup from the GEOS Brazil and Venezuela offices, in particular technical support, provided operational services to clients who were not prepared to deal with such a crisis. Legal support services, in cooperation with a law firm, was also provided to protect the corporate image and confidential data of our clients.
Monitoring and real-time information services, consultancy and business contingency plans, logistics coordination and assistance, deployment upon request of the Group’s resources to assist the French authorities, were all put into place to manage the situation.
The image and the reputation of GEOS clients were not affected by the crisis. Other French firms however, without professional support, were badly impacted.
