Risk Management

Verisk conducts an annual risk survey facilitated by its internal Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) department. As part of this process, business unit management identify key internal and external risks and assess their likelihood and potential impact. Following an extensive review, analysis, and prioritization by the executive team and the Board, the organization’s mission-critical risks are identified. The Board then receives regular updates on the external risk landscape, trends, and internal risk indicators for mission-critical risks.

Business Integrity

Verisk sets a high and uniform standard of fair and ethical behavior for its management, employees, and suppliers. These standards are detailed in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Employee Covenants, Human Rights Policy and Statement on Modern Slavery. In addition to these policies, Verisk has an enterprise-wide internal audit function, an extensive security and compliance framework, mandatory annual training for our employees and contractors, and a whistleblower hotline maintained by an independent third party.
