🌪️ 🌊 🔥 Extreme weather events are intensifying, regulatory landscapes are tightening, and the cost of inaction is growing. As Lena I. Fuldauer, our Global Sustainability and Resilience Solutions Lead and Arthur Lu, our Global Head Environment Impairment Liability put it: “For businesses, investing in climate resilience for businesses isn’t optional. It’s about long-term survival and profitability.” By integrating resilience into core business strategies, companies can reduce the physical risks and impacts of climate change.

Yesterday we had the privilege of presenting the Allianz Risk Barometer, our annual report identifying top business risks, to decision makers in Berlin - highlighting the risks shaping Germany’s business and economic landscape. 🔹 'Allianz Impuls' at Allianz Forum, Pariser Platz We shared our findings with more than 70 representatives from associations and companies. The discussions confirmed the growing importance of risk awareness in today's volatile environment and that the Allianz Risk Barometer continues to provide critical insights to businesses and policymakers alike - helping them navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. Special thanks go to Udo Fischer for organizing this successful event. 🔹 International Club at Federal Foreign Office (Internationaler Club im Auswärtigen Amt e.V.) In front of an exclusive audience of 50 policymakers and industry leaders, we focused on two pressing risks: Natural catastrophes and business interruption. Due to numerous natural catastrophes, such as the floods in southern Germany and severe storms, natural catastrophes are ranked third among German companies as the biggest business risk in 2025 (29%) and show the largest increase compared to 2024 (ranked fifth at 20%). Business interruption has ranked either first or second in every Allianz Risk Barometer for the past ten years and remains in second place in 2025 with 40% of responses. The effects of a cyber incident or natural disaster are the most feared business interruption risks. Experts Juergen Wiemann, Regional Head of Property Underwriting, and Holger Geier, Regional Head of Property Claims, provided key insights into these business concerns. 👉 Read the full results of the Allianz Risk Barometer 2025 for Germany here: https://lnkd.in/dxa5x8Bu 📸 Swipe through for some event highlights!   #AllianzRiskBarometer #GlobalRisks #BusinessRisks #AllianzCommercial #ARB2025

🛡️Data privacy isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the frontline defense in a world where cyber incidents are the biggest threat for businesses: According to the Allianz Risk Barometer 2025, cyber incidents, including data breaches, remain the #1 global business risk for the fourth year in a row, with 38% of businesses citing it as a top concern. This underscores how critical data protection has become for organizations worldwide. 👉 https://ow.ly/2ZEz50UOoAv 📊 The growing significance of data breach losses among cyber insurance claims is down to two notable trends: 💠 The shift by cyber criminals targeting personal data, 💠 and a jump in ‘non-attack’ data privacy related class action litigation, resulting from wrongful data collection and/or processing of personal data, for example. 💡 The message is clear: Data protection must be proactive. Regular risk assessments, stronger cyber security measures, and robust recovery plans are essential to navigating this volatile landscape. 🔒 Uncover 💠 The latest claims trends 💠 Developing cyber risk trends and loss drivers 💠 Actionable cyber hygiene strategies to improve your data protection and privacy capabilities in our comprehensive annual report: 👉 https://lnkd.in/grcZNXmE #Cyber #CyberRisks #CyberSecurity #DataBreach #AllianzCommercial #CyberRiskTrends #ARB2025 #DataPrivacyDay
