2011 Activity and Corporate Responsibility Report

Prevent. Protect. Assist. These words capture the essence of our business and take on special meaning in our constantly changing world.

We strive to understand and explain risks so we can help to prevent and reduce them. This benefits our clients, our shareholders and the communities in which we live and work. Managing risks is also how our employees and our partners in the profession contribute to society. We need to anticipate, understand, and prevent risks if we want to build a safer, stronger and better prepared world. In this 21st century, we face major challenges, which include natural disasters and climate change, risks related to increased longevity and population aging, and financial and macroeconomic risks.

To address these issues, we charitably support fundamental research. Only with a forward-looking attitude can we meet our customers’ future needs. Risk culture is an integral part of our day-to-day business, at every level. This responsibility guides and motivates our employees and partners in their work, with the shared goal of furthering risk reduction research and education.
