Kidnappings around the world are estimated to have increased by 100% since 2002 and the increased focus on corporate responsibility, Organisations must pay closer attention to the personal safety of its employees more than ever before.

Current threats impact employee well being and business continuity. It is therefore essential for organisations with such exposures to assess
these particular risks and take measured steps to minimise them.

If an incident does occur, your company must be ready to respond effectively to a crisis. While some companies have extensive security and risk management resources in-house, few security departments have handled sensitive and time-consuming kidnapping, extortion or political detention incidents. The financial and management implications of such incidents and
possible subsequent litigation have made clear the need for expert preventative and incident management advice.

Any company with employees operating or travelling overseas, especially in highrisk territories in Africa, Asia, the Middle-East and Latin America, should consider a Kidnap & Ransom insurance policy. The threat of kidnapping has traditionally been associated with Latin America but has now become an issue throughout the World.
