At FM, we bring a unique risk management focus to commercial property insurance. Our clients look to us for cost-effective insurance and risk-financing solutions to minimize business interruption and the financial impact of a possible loss. We are driven by a core philosophy that the majority of loss is preventable. Fires, floods and other catastrophes do happen but with proper planning and strategy, you can minimize the impact or eliminate the risk altogether. We take a proactive approach to risk, working with clients to evaluate their global exposure and ensure resilience is built into key decisions. If companies don’t do this and experience a loss, they are at risk of potentially losing revenue, market share and shareholder value, not to mention the major reputational hit that may also follow. With nearly 200 years of experience, we offer a one-of-a-kind, engineering-based approach to risk. Using local on-site engineers, we assess facilities to consistent worldwide standards, based on scientific research conducted exclusively for property risk. If you can properly identify a risk, you can mitigate it. FM believes that resilience is a choice every company should make if they want to thrive in a volatile world.
