                  As an industry-first, climate change risk levels present in countries around the world have
                  been added to the annual update to the International SOS Risk Map


                  LONDON, December 13, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The world’s leading security and

                  health risk services company, International SOS, is today releasing its annual
                  interactive Risk Map 2024. The map has been designed to help organisations and their
                  mobile workers better understand their global risks.


                  The Risk Map 2024 provides organisations with underlying medical and security risk

                  ratings reflecting the impact of disruptive events, such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine
                  and between Israel and Hamas. Using data-driven tools, such as this Risk Map, can help

                  organisations maintain their Duty of Care responsibilities as global security, medical and
                  climate change risks continue to evolve.


                  For the first time, the Risk Map includes a layer which also outlines climate change risks.
                  Compiled by INFORM (a collaboration between the Euro-Mediterranean Center on

                  Climate Change and Joint Research Centre of European Commission), the data provides
                  quantified estimates of the impacts of climate change on the future risk of humanitarian

                  crises and disasters. This risk index is intended to inform policy choices across climate
                  mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development and

                  humanitarian assistance for greater resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change.

                  The 2024 Risk Map can be used as a tool to build a comprehensive view of the risk

                  landscape around the world.
