International SOS partners with Munich Re on pandemic policy

International SOS and Munich Re have partnered to develop an integrated epidemic and pandemic risk management policy solution. As part of the mandate, International SOS will provide health advisory services to Munich Re’s pandemic policyholders. The advice is medically-led, enabling risk, HR and health and safety executive professionals to communicate tailored recommendations to C-suite decision-makers. The solution will also include access to International SOS’ pandemic portal, an online repository of the latest health advice relating to pandemics and access to International SOS’ health consultants. By proactively addressing risk, and future-proofing an organisation’s pandemic response, an organisation can contribute to an enhanced duty of care and ESG agenda, retaining and protecting talent. Commenting on the partnership, Franck Baron, group deputy director, risk management at International SOS, says: “The solution enhances Munich Re’s pandemic policy, supports captives on a topic for which extensive support is often sought. This next step in our relationship with Munich Re will help protect workforces and, in turn, organisational resilience.” Mari-Lizette Malherbe, member of the Munich Re board of management, adds: “Climate change and population shifts are making another pandemic more likely, therefore there is a need to create more resilient organisations. This new integrated pandemic risk management solution equips the insured to confidently navigate the next pandemic crisis.”
