Global Risks Initiative

“It’s ever more imperative for organizations to strengthen their appreciation of emerging threats and potential shock events. The Global Risks Report is a valuable stimulus for discussions on resilience in this rapidly changing environment. We look forward to expanding this work with the Forum.”


John Drzik

President of Global Risk & Digital, Marsh McLennan

“Effective risk management in today’s complex and interconnected world requires a truly holistic risk management approach, taking interdependencies between risks into account. That is why we are a proud strategic partner of the Forum’s Global Risks Practice, the world’s leading public-private collaboration to understand and engage multi-stakeholders on global risks.”


Peter Giger

Group Chief Risk Officer, Zurich Insurance Group

“With operations ranging from energy and telecoms to semi-conductors and biopharma, SK Group sits at the intersection of global risk. We joined the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Practice to better understand our risk environment, share best practices in risk mitigation and offer an Asian perspective to this important initiative.”
