Risk Management Impacts of REACH
In June 2007 a major new environmental regulation known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation of Chemicals) will come into force, fundamentally impacting chemical industries and the downstream sectors they supply. The cost of this compliance is estimated to be billions of euros for the EU chemical industry alone. While the larger chemical companies will very likely be better equipped to absorb the cost of compliance with REACH, small firms and specialty chemical manufacturers will face a disproportionate increase in their costs.

Global Risks Report 2007
The Global Risks Network is a program in which MMC has been working in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, Citigroup, Swiss Re and the Wharton School Risk Center. At the core of this year's overview of risks to the global community over the next decade is a fundamental disconnect between risk and mitigation. Expert opinion suggests that levels of risk are rising in almost all of the 23 risks on which the Global Risk Network has been focused over the last year, but mechanisms in place to manage and mitigate risk at the level of businesses, governments and global governance are inadequate.

The Changing Face of Risk Management
In May 2006, a panel of North American experts discussed "Excellence in Risk Management." These risk management professionals addressed the expanding world of risk and the need for evolution in the risk management community to meet the growing need to manage and optimize these risks. Our report, Excellence in Risk Management III/The Changing Face of Risk Management is a combination of the output from that discussion, and the results of new research that help us understand how the corporate finance officer and investment communities think about corporate risk.

Understanding China's Business Risk Environment

With its booming economy, huge manufacturing base, enormous supply of natural resources, and expanding consumer spending, it's no surprise that China is high on the agenda for many businesses. According to a recent survey more than 52 percent of multinational companies say that China is critical to their global strategies. But with opportunities come risks.

Marsh - the world's leading risk and insurance services firm - has produced a special report which looks at a number of key areas of risk that companies already operating in China-or thinking about operating there-need to consider.

Among the critical issues considered in the report are:

Sourcing risks, such as supply-chain and business interruption issues;
Protection of intellectual property;
Recruitment, development, and retention of talented employees;
Trends and concerns in mergers and acquisitions;
The potential pitfalls of the Chinese insurance market
