Respond to Emerging Risks with this Winning Property Loss Control Formula

Speakers: Charlie Carriker, Strategic Sales Leader, TÜV SÜD Global Risk Consultants

Felix Brobbey, ARM, Director, Risk Management & Insurance, nVent

May 6, 1:30pm PST, Room 31AB - San Diego Convention Center

Session description: Today’s unique business climate features a wide variety of emerging risks and troubling trends that risk managers must face head on. Natural hazards are more devastating than ever. Climate change has pushed sustainability efforts to the forefront. Inflation has led to inaccurate insurance claims that don’t fully pay for rebuilding or replacement costs. Meanwhile, the hard property insurance market has made securing coverage difficult and expensive. In this session, we will outline the emerging risks businesses are facing and how those issues can be solved with effective property loss control. Discover the keys to a successful property loss control program including the development of accurate loss estimates, insurance asset valuations, climate change initiatives, site evaluations, plan reviews, and independent risk reports that impress underwriters.

Learning objectives:

• Identify emerging risks for 2024 and beyond.
• Learn how to develop a winning property loss control formula.
• Take actions to mitigate emerging risks and improve property insurance outcomes.

EU Taxonomy: Why Sustainability Assessments Have Become Essential

Speaker: Ulf Bruening, Principal Consulting Lead EU/ASMEA, Global Risk Consultants

May 6, 2:45pm PST, Room 27AB – San Diego Convention Center

The European Union Taxonomy rules are complex. Reporting on social and environmental performance is a challenge for many companies. What initiatives are deemed “environmentally sustainable” under the new guidelines? What are the rules to the so-called green investment rulebook? Join us to learn EU Taxonomy rules – and why most companies doing business in Europe must adhere to them. Also, learn environmental objectives in EU Taxonomy regulations such as climate change mitigation; climate change adaptation; sustainable use and protection of water; transition to a circular economy; pollution prevention and control; and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. Discover how sustainability assessments can ensure that your plans are hitting the mark and adhering to EU Taxonomy regulations. It will also touch on growing customer desire for more information on the sustainability of products they purchase.

Learning objectives:

• How to finance green investments with low interest loans by showcasing sustainability efforts and projections.
• Which initiatives are deemed “environmentally sustainable” under new EU Taxonomy guidelines and which companies are required to complete assessments.
• How to assess your company’s social and environmental performance to satisfy EU Taxonomy requirements and growing consumer demand.
