About the FERMA Seminar 2025

An Exclusive Learning Event for European Risk and Insurance Managers

The Seminar is an educational event organised by European Risk Managers for European Risk Managers. Limited to an audience of 250, it fosters an exclusive and interactive environment for sharing experiences and best practices among professionals.

What’s New for 2025?

This year, the focus is on risks related to the value chain. 

Recent EU legislation—such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, Critical Raw Materials Act, and Cyber Resilience Act—requires companies to conduct thorough evaluations of their suppliers, stakeholders, and operating environments. 

Events like the pandemic and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have exposed significant vulnerabilities within supply chains. To effectively address these challenges, companies must align risk management with their business strategy. Risk Managers should play a pivotal role in this process. 

The programme is:

  • Concise and intensive – maximising learning in a focused format
  • Practical and interactive – featuring engaging workshops and real-life case studies

Key Themes and Workshops:

  • Navigating 2026: Value Chain Challenges, Foresight and Board Readiness – exploring future risk trends and strategic foresight
  • How Captives Can Support ESG Goals – aligning risk financing with sustainability objectives
  • CSRD and CS3D – Practical Implementation – navigating new compliance and reporting requirements
  • Investor Perspective on Value Chain Risks – prioritising resilience and transparency
  • Climate Risks – A 360° Perspective – addressing environmental threats and business continuity
  • Geopolitical Risk Preparedness – strengthening crisis response strategies
