The CRO Forum, founded in 2004, brings together large multinational insurance companies to promote risk management standards and exchange experiences. The members include well-known companies such as AEGON, Axa and Zurich.

“Joining is a significant step for us,” explained Kurt Svoboda, Chief Financial and Risk Officer at UNIQA, emphasizing the opportunity to benefit from industry best practices while contributing our own insights. This platform is crucial for exchange across national borders and will further promote international cooperation in the area of ​​risk management. Like from uniqagroup.com reports, the forum also focuses on the implementation of the Solvency II guidelines, which are of central importance for the insurance sector.

Contribution to risk management practice

Membership reinforces UNIQA's commitment to high standards in risk management. Carolina Otero, Chairwoman of the CRO Forum, expressed herself positively about joining and highlighted the important perspective that UNIQA brings to the forum with its regional expertise and the NatCat Competence Center, which deals with natural disasters and their developments in the context of climate change. UNIQA operates with 22,000 employees in 20 countries and is the second largest insurance company in Austria with a market share of around 22%. The latest full membership will not only strengthen UNIQA, but also support the entire industry in the increasingly complex risk landscape.
