How risk-smart companies are navigating 2025's biggest challenges 

Today’s risk landscape feels like we’re living in a world of permanent crisis. So it’s no surprise that companies are becoming more cautious, with 69% now defining themselves as risk-averse compared to 61% last year.  

But this defensive approach isn't necessarily the right one, as it could lead businesses to a complete standstill in an environment where agility is essential. The most successful organisations are taking a different approach - one that turns risk management into competitive advantage. 

Our Global Risk Landscape Report 2025 examines how forward-thinking leaders are responding to today's complex risk environment while positioning their businesses for sustainable growth. 

What you'll find in the 2025 report

Key insights from 500 C-suite executives across four continents: 

  • The compliance trap: why box-ticking approaches to risk may be limiting your growth potential 
  • Emerging threat landscape: how AI, geopolitical tensions, and cyber risks are reshaping business priorities 
  • Anti-fragile strategies: proven approaches that help businesses thrive through uncertainty 
  • Regional risk perspectives: how attitudes and challenges differ across Europe, MEA, APAC, and the Americas

We've been tracking these global risk patterns for a decade now. If you're curious about how business attitudes to risk have evolved through years of crises, you can explore those insights here.
