Dubai, UAE, July 08, 2024: In the face of an increasingly volatile global landscape, International SOS, the
world’s leading health and security services company, emphasises the need for organisations to address the dual
challenges of rising geopolitical risks and the ensuing impact on employees’ mental health and wellbeing.

Insights from the International SOS Risk Outlook 2024 report reveal this pressing concern; the permacrisis

environment is taking a significant toll on both organisations and individual wellbeing, with 65% of risk
professionals agreeing that the world has become more dangerous throughout the last year and around three-
