Steel City Re’s technology-driven quantitative rigor has been proven effective by financial markets in both insuring and arbitraging reputation risk.

Reputation value is a strategic power. Companies harness their reputation to sell more, faster, and at premium prices; and to obtain labor, vendor services, as well as capital on preferred terms. Enhanced reputational value can help companies outperform competitors, recruit and retain talent, deter activists, and satisfy regulators. That extra value is the reputation premium. A reputation valuation framework like ours, informed by behavioral economic principles, is especially useful in ESG-centric firms because the analytic processes align with institutional investors’ expectations and proxy voting guidelines.

Risk management, risk financing in insurance captives, and risk transfer through reputation insurances comprise the constituent elements of a comprehensive reputation risk management solution. These basic videos explain why and how.

Steel City Re mitigates the hazards of ESG (reputation) risk. We use parametric reputation insurances, ESG insurances, and risk management advisory services to make our clients reputationally resilient.

Our services feature two unique tools. Our quantitative advantage is a system of measures of for reputational value that has been validated in equity markets. Our qualitative advantage is a behavioral economic framework that helps our clients prevail in the battle for the mind of their stakeholders. These features are products of our own thought leadership.

We identify gaps in oversight, management, and insurance for ESG | reputation issues.  We help clients structure a cross-silo function to (a) gather intelligence on shifts in stakeholders’ expectations; (b) articulate an enterprise risk management strategy for observed shifts; and (c) execute the above under controls for compliance, regulatory pitfalls, and litigation pitfalls.

Last, we help clients authenticate the above by using captives and risk transfer to provide both Caremark post Marchand resilience for boards and economic benefits for shareholders as described in the governancerisk, and legal literature; and in a video on products and services.
