Business Interruption
Previously, companies planned for isolated events. But the risk landscape is now more interconnected than ever before.
Mounting geopolitical and societal pressure to tackle climate change weighs heavily on the natural resources industry, impacting all facets of strategy. Across the industry, organizations seek technical advances to support our transition to carbon neutrality, all while competing fiercely to attract and retain the talent required to make breakthroughs possible. Meanwhile, traditional concerns, including cyber, operational, and reputational risks remain as pertinent as ever.
In this environment, companies must adopt holistic risk management and workforce frameworks that cover both physical and human assets, take into account expanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) expectations, and reflect the industry’s rapidly rising insurance needs.
At Aon, our teams have deep experience across all segments of the natural resources industry—including alternative energy, chemicals, distribution, mining, oil and gas, power generation, renewables, and utilities. We leverage our understanding of the unique risks you face to conduct risk assessments, implement novel risk transfer solutions, provide claims advocacy, deliver tailored insurance programs to address evolving environmental liabilities, manage supply chain disruptions, support regulatory compliance, and build dynamic and resilient workforces.
According to our latest Global Risk Management Survey, the biggest risks facing the Natural Resources industry include:
01
Business Interruption
Previously, companies planned for isolated events. But the risk landscape is now more interconnected than ever before.
02
Regulatory or Legislative Changes
Uncertainty about upcoming regulatory changes affects business confidence, and companies active in multiple jurisdictions must track and comply with a wide variety of complex laws and regulations.
03
Commodity Price Risk or Scarcity of Materials
The global commodity market continues to suffer from wild mood swings, often due to geopolitical volatility or extreme weather events.
04
Property Damage
With extreme weather events amplifying this risk in certain geographies, property is becoming more challenging to insure.
05
Cyber Attack or Data Breach
Cyber attacks are, and will remain, a top risk across all geographies and industry sectors. All leaders need a cyber game plan.
