Building resilience for a sustainable future
Extreme weather is one of the most pressing business challenges of our time. With the world experiencing more intense heatwaves, rising sea levels and increasingly severe natural disasters, businesses must tackle the present day and future risks confronting their organization.
At the same time, regulators and society at large are increasing their focus on the systemic risk of climate change. Expectations and obligations are growing for businesses to identify, manage, and report on their climate risks in order to demonstrate their business resilience and economic sustainability.
Zurich Resilience Solutions (ZRS) – the specialized risk advisory business of the Zurich Insurance Group – helps organizations around the world to address rapidly changing risk and regulatory landscapes, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to create long-term business resilience in the face of evolving risks.
