LONDON, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft (Nasdaq: VRSK) has today launched a new data solution assessing location-specific risks to the assets of over 50,000 publicly traded companies. It provides investors with one of the most comprehensive views available of corporate exposure to global climate, environmental, human rights and political risks. Combining the locations of 4 million+ corporate assets with industry-leading geospatial risk data, Verisk Maplecroft’s Asset Risk Exposure Analytics (AREA) features 85 individual risk issues that are mapped down to subnational levels. The solution has been developed to help reveal hidden vulnerabilities and strengths in the global operations of publicly listed firms worldwide and provides investors with a new perspective on companies’ risk and sustainability profiles. “AREA helps address investor blind spots by delivering a bird’s eye view of a company’s assets, mapping these to the systematic risks that shape both its financial performance and its effects on the world around it,” says Verisk Maplecroft’s Head of Markets, James Lockhart Smith. “Manufacturing hubs in areas of rising civil unrest, data centres exposed to intensifying climate hazards, mines located in human rights hotspots – the data provides a granular, real-world counterpoint to headquarter-level assessments of risk and sustainability.” The launch of AREA builds on Verisk Maplecroft’s 20-year standing as a premium provider of geospatial country risk and sustainability data. It also marks its ambition to further enhance its risk solutions for the financial community following the release of its Sovereign ESG offering in 2022, which won recognition at the ESG Investing Awards in the same year. What sets AREA apart is the breadth, depth, quality and transparency of the data, which features: 18 political risks, such as civil unrest, conflict intensity, corruption and democratic governance 30 human rights issues across all civil, political and labour rights and human security risks 18 climate hazards and issues, which encompass different time horizons and emissions pathways 19 environmental risks, including natural hazards, pollution, biodiversity and deforestation One key advantage of Verisk Maplecroft’s approach is investors can assess companies of all sizes, industries, and geographies against a substantial range of risks in one place using a consistent scoring framework. The 85 risk issues have been selected as among the most critical to investors, but we anticipate adding more of Verisk Maplecroft’s portfolio of 190+ risk indices into the solution over time. To help provide an extra layer of granularity, 50 of the risk issues covered in AREA also draw on Verisk Maplecroft’s Industry Risk Dataset to provide a weighted, sector-by-sector view of risk. All the data in AREA will be available through an API. The solution is applicable to all equity investing, including sustainable and impact finance. Using AREA, portfolio managers and analysts can assess systematic political risks more easily and rigorously across their portfolios, so they can better optimise investment decisions and strategies. Responsible investment practitioners, on the other hand, can use AREA to better understand company exposure to key issues, including climate, nature and human rights at the asset level, which are rarely captured in traditional company-level sustainability data. AREA can therefore facilitate better risk analysis and portfolio construction, as well as much more targeted and impactful stewardship and engagement. “If there’s one thing climate change has taught investors about risk it’s that location counts,” adds Principal Markets Analyst, Franca Wolf, who led on the development of AREA for Verisk Maplecroft. “In a time of heightened global uncertainty, AREA’s ‘big picture’ risk intelligence offers investors enhanced visibility of the world’s most pressing current and future threats and how they may interconnect with their portfolios.” ### About Verisk MaplecroftVerisk Maplecroft, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), is a leading geospatial risk analytics company specialising in global sustainability and political risk intelligence for institutional investors and multinational corporations.

A relatively high proportion of the overall losses for this event are likely to be insured, owing to the high insurance take up for the flood peril BOSTON, June 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Extreme Event Solutions business unit of Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics and technology provider, estimates industry insured losses from flooding in Southern Germany from May 15 to June 5 will range from EUR 2.4 billion (USD 2.6 billion) to EUR 3.6 billion (USD 3.9 billion). Between Friday, May 31 at noon CET and Monday, June 3 at noon CET, 120 to 160 liters of rain fell per square meter across southern Germany, which is more than what usually falls in a month, according to Sebastian Altnau, a meteorologist with the German Weather Office. The main flooding occurred along parts of the upper Danube River, as well as several of the Danube's southern tributaries, with the worst impacts in Germany in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Flooding submerged streets, highways, homes, and businesses. A dam on the Paar River broke in two places in the Bavarian district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, severely flooding surrounding areas and requiring hundreds to evacuate their homes in nearby Baar-Ebenhausen. A dyke and a dam also broke in Diedorf. Elsewhere in Bavaria, the Schmutter, Cham, Paar, Ilm, Danube and Isar Rivers all reached above the level 4 (highest) warning levels in several locations. In Baden-Württemberg, homes and businesses were also flooded, and an estimated 95,000 hectares of farmland were inundated. According to the German Insurance Association (GDV), nearly half of all structures in Bavaria are insured for flood, while in Baden-Württemberg that figure exceeds 90 percent, as flood protection was a compulsory part of property insurance in that state until 1994. Included in the industry insured loss estimate is insured physical damage to property (residential, commercial, industrial, auto, agriculture), both structures and their contents, from both on- and off-floodplain flooding. Also included are additional living expenses (ALE) for residential claims and business interruption (BI) for commercial claims. Verisk’s loss estimates do not include: Losses outside of Germany Losses to uninsured properties Losses to infrastructure Losses from extra-contractual obligations Losses from hazardous waste cleanup, vandalism, or civil commotion, whether directly or indirectly caused by the event Demand surge Other non-modeled losses ### About Verisk Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) is a leading strategic data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry.

IBD’s 100 Best ESG List Methodology To determine the 2022 100 Best ESG Companies list, IBD started with a company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) sustainability score created by Dow Jones Newswires, an IBD affiliate. Next, Dow Jones provided an ESG-scored list to IBD of all the U.S.-traded companies it tracks, a total of 2,208. IBD then cut the list to 1,693 companies by removing non-public companies and companies with stock prices below $10 a share. Companies that lacked sufficient data to create an IBD Composite rating were also removed. IBD further qualified the list by cutting it to the top 15% of the 1,693, using their ESG scores, and then selected the 100 with the highest IBD Composite Rating—all with scores of 81 or better. Finally, IBD ranked the 100 companies by Dow Jones' ESG score. About Verisk Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) provides data-driven analytic insights and solutions for the insurance and energy industries.

The industry loss estimate includes estimated wind, storm surge, and inland flood losses resulting from Ian’s landfalls in both Florida and South Carolina; Majority of insured losses in estimate caused by wind damage in Florida BOSTON, Oct. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verisk (Nasdaq:VRSK) estimates that insured losses to onshore property for Hurricane Ian will range from USD 42 billion to USD 57 billion. The industry loss estimate from Verisk Extreme Event Solutions includes estimated wind, storm surge, and inland flood losses resulting from Ian’s landfalls in both Florida and South Carolina. The loss estimate excludes certain elements, such as losses to the National Flood Insurance Program and any potential impacts of litigation or social inflation, that could cause the total insured industry loss to exceed USD 60 billion. Wind damage of USD 38 to 51 billion comprises the majority of the loss estimate. Storm surge (excluding losses from the NFIP) account for USD 3 to 5.5 billion of the loss estimate, and inland flood less than USD 1 billion. Approximately 1 percent of the total industry loss will come from the impacts of Ian’s South Carolina landfall. Overview of the damage Wind damage in varying degree was observed in all the areas impacted by Hurricane Ian’s windfield. Damage was more severe in and around the areas where Ian made landfall in southwest Florida. It ranged from significant loss of roof covers in residential homes to torn up roof membranes in commercial structures. Extensive damage is also seen to elements of building components and cladding. Storm surge also caused massive destruction to communities along the western coast of Florida where Ian made landfall. Residential construction in these areas are predominantly founded on slabs which do not afford a lot of elevation above the local ground surface. Surge damage caused collapse of several rows of beachfront residential homes. In some cases, homes were dislodged from their foundations. Manufactured homes constitute a significant portion of the residential inventory in southwest Florida when Ian made landfall. Several manufactured home parks in these areas saw massive damage including loss of roofs, damage to wall siding and near total destruction. What’s included in Verisk’s estimate Included in the estimate are losses to onshore residential, commercial, and industrial properties and automobiles for their building, contents, and time element coverage. The estimate reflects the impacts of inflation on labor and materials over the past two years, as well as the effects of demand surge, when large numbers of property owners look to rebuild at the same time. Verisk’s modeled insured loss estimates do not include: Losses to inland marine, ocean-going marine cargo and hull, and pleasure boats Loss adjustment expenses Losses exacerbated by litigation, fraudulent assignment of benefits, or social inflation Losses paid out by the National Flood Insurance Program Storm surge leakage losses paid on wind-only policies due to government intervention Losses to uninsured properties Losses to infrastructure Losses from extra-contractual obligations Losses from hazardous waste cleanup, vandalism, or civil commotion, whether directly or indirectly caused by the event Losses resulting from the compromise of existing defenses (e.g., natural and man-made levees) Other non-modeled losses, including those resulting from tornadoes spawned by the storm Losses for U.S. offshore assets and non-U.S. property How the hurricane unfolded and broke records Heavy rain, storm surge, and tropical storm conditions began across portions of southwest Florida late Tuesday afternoon. Overnight Ian slid past the Florida Keys. Despite receiving a glancing blow from Ian, Key West recorded its third-highest storm surge since 1913 at just over 3 feet and peak wind gusts into the upper-60s mph. Conditions deteriorated rapidly in western Florida as Wednesday morning progressed, with heavy rainfall spreading northward and major-hurricane-force winds from Ian’s eyewall coming onshore late morning near Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island. To the south, in Naples and surrounding areas, Ian’s powerful winds were oriented perpendicular to the coast, which exacerbated the water inundation caused by storm surge as water from the Gulf was effectively blown inland. As a result, Naples saw over 6 feet of catastrophic storm surge, shattering the previous record. Ian officially made landfall at Cayo Costa, Florida at 3:05 PM local time as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. Around this time, a 124-mph wind gust was observed in Punta Gorda before the station failed. Ian then slowly proceeded inland, following a northeasterly track that led the storm’s massive 30-mile-wide eye (wider than the east-west extent of Lake Okeechobee) over Gasparilla Sound and Punta Gorda. Owing to the storm’s slow motion, areas like Port Charlotte and Englewood remained in Ian’s eyewall for several hours; this resulted in 18 – 20 inches of rainfall in addition to prolonged exposure to the powerful wind gusts located in Ian’s northwestern eyewall. Ian managed to stay about 65 miles southwest of Tampa, which owing to Ian’s large wind field was still close enough to bring wind gusts into the upper-70s mph and 2 – 5 inches of rainfall; before that, Tampa Bay was temporarily drained of water because of inverse storm surge from Ian. On Thursday morning, Ian moved off the Atlantic coast near Cape Canaveral – a bit further south than previously expected. As Ian moved back over the ocean on Thursday, conditions were favorable enough for some additional strengthening and Ian was upgraded to a hurricane as of Thursday evening. Ian made a second landfall on Friday afternoon at 2:05 pm EDT near Georgetown, SC as a mid-range Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph. Heavy rainfall and strong gusty winds of more than 50 mph impacted portions of the Carolinas. With these impacts ongoing, Ian was officially declared post-tropical at 5pm as the center moved into northeast South Carolina. Hurricane Ian brought significant storm surge damage to southwest Florida, to both residential and commercial exposures. However, the flood insurance take-up on residential risks in Florida are low.

LONDON, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verisk Maplecroft, a global risk analytics business of Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), has launched its new Industry Risk Analytics to provide companies, insurers and financial institutions with a new geospatial risk solution that identifies the exposure of 80 sectors to 52 different ESG and political risks across 198 countries. The data can be used to underpin and strengthen analysis of a wide range of risks impacting operations, supply chains and investments globally by offering in-depth insight into how country-level risks vary between industries. The dataset draws on over 50 of Verisk Maplecroft’s 170+ global risk indices, combining them with proprietary global and local industry risk factors to deliver precise risk scores for each sector in all countries. Issues covered include labour rights, such as modern slavery, child labour, fair wages and working hours; environmental risks, including water stress, climate change vulnerability, pollution, heat stress and natural hazards; and political risks covering corruption, conflict intensity and civil unrest. The Industry Risk Analytics are the latest innovation from Verisk Maplecroft as it strives to provide global business and finance with the single most comprehensive source of geospatial global risk data and analytics. They form the latest addition to Verisk’s growing suite of sustainability and resilience exposure analytics, which include extreme event models and global geospatial datasets covering the full spectrum of ESG, political, climate and energy transition risks. “Providing a universal foundation for ESG and political risk analysis, the Industry Risk Analytics will enable more precise assessment of inherent risk exposures, helping businesses, banks, insurers and investors get a more granular view of industry-specific risks at the operational, supply chain, portfolio, asset and project level,” says Sam Haynes, Head of Risk Analytics at Verisk Maplecroft. “Users can explore how inherent risks vary from place to place and by industry activity, enabling a holistic understanding of locational risk to support smarter, more informed decisions and mitigating actions.” The methodologies used to create the analytics feature Verisk Maplecroft’s vast array of unstructured, geospatial, expert-derived and structured data, which offer an alternative contextual risk perspective to the analyst assessed, disclosure-based and controversy datasets that are typically used to assess ESG risks. This means both the underlying data and the analytics themselves are independent, scalable and can deliver a robust, universally applicable risk assessment solution. “The veracity of the top-down mainstream ESG datasets from major ratings providers has come under recent scrutiny,” adds Verisk Maplecroft’s President Matt Moshiri. “This points to a need for a bottom-up approach that can robustly assess inherent ESG risk exposure, alongside dynamic political issues, more accurately than ever before – this is where we aim to make the difference.” For more information on Verisk Maplecroft’s Industry Risk Analytics, visit www.maplecroft.com About Verisk Maplecroft As organisations strive to understand and adapt to a fast-moving world, Verisk Maplecroft empowers them to put the environment, human rights and political risk at the heart of their decision-making.
