Geopolitical risk has become one of the top concerns for directors and officers globally, according to the latest Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Survey by WTW and Reed Smith. The risk has climbed from 15th place last year to rank among the top seven boardroom concerns, with 59% of respondents describing it as very important or extremely important.
The survey highlights growing concerns over global instability, regulatory pressures, cyber threats, and supply chain disruptions. Artificial intelligence has also emerged as a significant board-level issue, with 56% of respondents identifying AI-related risks as a major concern. Key worries include AI-generated errors, misinformation, fraud, and inadequate governance.
While traditional risks such as health and safety remain important, organizations are increasingly focusing on operational resilience. Supply chain constraints and third-party risks were identified as major challenges, reflecting the growing impact of geopolitical developments on business continuity and corporate decision-making.
