In today's complex geopolitical landscape, organisations are increasingly confronted with a myriad of risks that challenge their operational stability and strategic planning. The frequency and unpredictability of potentially significant geopolitical events require organisations to reassess their risk frameworks and assumptions.

As highlighted in Marsh’s Political Risk Report 2025, businesses need to adapt their risk management and insurance strategies in response to evolving global trade dynamics, operational challenges, and the intersection of climate change and geopolitics. And as geopolitical risks continue to escalate, they may lead to significant impact on supply chains, requiring better visibility to help identify vulnerabilities and make informed decisions to mitigate risks.

In this episode of Risk in Context, Angela Duca, Marsh's Global Head of Credit Specialties, speaks with Chris Coppock, Credit Specialties' Head of Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Risk Analysis, and Catherine Cyphus, Marsh's Risk Lead for Sentrisk. They explore the key findings of the Political Risk Report 2025, outline the political risks organisations should monitor, and share effective risk management strategies to navigate these challenges.

Considering recent significant geopolitical changes, organisations should reassess their existing risk management strategies and the assumptions underlying those strategies to ensure that they remain relevant and effective in today’s risk landscape.

Identify and mitigate critical supplier risks.

Geopolitical challenges can introduce new or exacerbate existing supply chain risks, underscoring the importance that companies utilise data and technology to gain visibility into their supply chains, allowing them to identify vulnerabilities and make informed decisions to mitigate risks.

Foster collaborative relationships with insurers.

Engage with your insurers and risk transfer advisors to assess your specific geopolitical risks, implement the most effective risk management strategies, and identify the insurance solutions that would most effectively help you manage your risks.
