PwC
2022 GLOBAL RISK SURVEY
The world is different than it was two years ago and so is the risk environment in which organisations operate. Change is fast and disruptive. The pandemic caused disturbance in the labour market and the supply chain. The current volatile geopolitical environment is further exacerbating supply constraints, heightening cyber risks, introducing rapidly evolving sanctions and putting safety and humanity at the forefront of all decisions. Ransomware attacks are more frequent and more sophisticated, no doubt a driver of cyber’s rise to the top threat to business among CEOs in our 25th Global CEO Survey. >more

BlackRock

The global BlackRock Geopolitical Risk Indicator (BGRI) aims to capture the market attention to our geopolitical risks.

GLOBAL RISKS REPORT 2022
The Global Risks Report series tracks global risks perceptions among risk experts and world leaders in business, government, and civil society. It examines risks across five categories: economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal, and technological. Every year the report also analyses key risks to explore further in deep-dive chapters—these could be risks that feature prominently on our survey, those for which warning signs are beginning to surface, or potential blind spots in risk perceptions. >more

BDO
GLOBAL RISK LANDSCAPE 2021
The impact of the Corona pandemic was worse for many European companies than originally expected in April 2020. This is one of the findings of the "BDO Global Risk Landscape 2021" study, for the European edition of which BDO surveyed around 200 executives of successful companies on our continent. Modern technologies with predictive analytics capabilities played a key role during the crisis: Only 16% of European companies have used technical tools for risk identification and assessment to date. As a result, many companies were not adequately prepared for the impact of potential crises - and still are not today. >more

World Economic Forum
THE GLOBAL RISKS REPORT 2021
The 16th edition of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report analyses the risks from societal fractures — manifested through persistent and emerging risks to human health, rising unemployment, widening digital divides, youth disillusionment, and geopolitical fragmentation. Businesses risk a disorderly shakeout which can exclude large cohorts of workers and companies from the markets of the future. Environmental degradation — still an existential threat to humanity — risks intersecting with societal fractures to bring about severe consequences. Yet, with the world more attuned to risk, lessons can be drawn to strengthen response and resilience. In 2020, the risk of a pandemic became reality. As governments, businesses, and societies grapple with COVID-19, societal cohesion is more important than ever. >more
