The representative organisation of the risk management profession in Europe
About us
FERMA was established in 1974 and brings together 23 national risk management associations in 22 European countries. FERMA represents over 6000 risk managers active in a wide range of business sectors from major industrial and commercial companies to financial institutions and local government bodies. We provide the means of coordinating risk management and optimising the impact of these associations at a European level. These members play a crucial role for their organisations with respect to the management and treatment of complex risks and insurance issues. FERMA co-ordinates the best practice guidelines and approach to risk management throughout Europe, addresses issues that are exclusively related to the European activities, is in liaison with other world-wide risk management associations, organises bi-annual FORUM and seminars in October for professional development of members.

Today, FERMA and WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development are proud to launch Open Sesame: a joint initiative focused on unlocking financing for climate resilience. The initiative is supported by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), acting as secretariat to the initiative. Bringing together leaders from risk management, insurance, finance and sustainability, the initiative aims to accelerate the development of a new framework enabling organisations to invest proactively in preventative and adaptive climate measures before climate-related events strike. As physical climate risks continue to grow, strengthening resilience is no longer only a risk issue: it is a strategic investment priority. We look forward to collaborating with partners across the ecosystem to help shape practical, scalable solutions for the future of climate resilience financing. ➡️ Discover all the details: https://lnkd.in/dFFr488g #ClimateResilience #RiskManagement #SustainableFinance #ClimateAdaptation #ESG #OpenSesame #FERMA #WBCSD
