Political violence and terrorism
Navigating an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape
Acts of violence, terrorism, and civil unrest can cause significant disruption and distress for international businesses. Unfortunately, many of the conditions that precede major conflicts are higher than they have been since the end of the Second World War1.
With our Political Violence and Terrorism (PVT) solution, our experienced and dedicated team can create tailored solutions to help businesses navigate and protect against an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape.
