Zurich launches global mitigation unit

Zurich has created a new unit called Zurich Resilience Solutions with the intent of meeting the “growing demand from businesses for risk prevention and mitigation services.”

The unit will provide services that enhance the overall resilience of a customer’s business and complement traditional insurance products. Its offering combines risk advisory services and insights with the latest technology and tools, leveraging data and analytics as well as third-party collaborations.

“Our people, and in particular our more than 750 risk engineers, work with customers day in, day out, and have intimate knowledge of how they operate their businesses . At the same time, our global reach and the breadth and depth of our expertise in risk management enable us to help protect our customers so they can focus on successfully developing their businesses. With Zurich Resilience Solutions, we want to leverage that wealth of experience, along with insights from rich pools of data and digital capabilities, for the benefit of our customers.” – Hanno Mijer, newly appointed Global Head of Zurich Resilience Solutions.

The Group has already launched a range of services, including Climate Change Resilience Services, Zurich Cyber Security Services and Supply Chain Risk Management Services and will continue to focus on building new capabilities.
