Reputation risk is rampant, insurance is prudent, and loss is likely. Reputation insurance should be viewed in much the same way as property insurance for a town in tornado country.<\/p>

By defining reputation risk this way, rather than as the risk of negative public opinion to be managed by marketing departments, the peril is measurable and manageable \u2013 as well as insurable \u2013 through the use of data analytics that are now available. Just as a physician measures the risk of heart attack without actually opening the body and examining the heart \u2013 through cholesterol levels, blood pressure and stress tests \u2013 so can we measure the risk of financial damage to companies from missed expectations\u2014stakeholder disappointment, to be exact – through the analysis of various parametric criteria.<\/p>

The implications of that linkage were significant \u2013 then and now \u2013 as it made clear that reputation risk was the consequence of failing to meet stakeholder expectations. Buffet\u2019s public sharing of that warning before a House committee showed how keenly aware he was of the enterprise-level risk posed when stakeholders \u2013 in this case including legislators and regulators \u2013 are angry or disappointed over a company\u2019s failure to meet their expectations.<\/p>

When Warren Buffet famously told employees at Salomon Brothers that if they lost money, he would be forgiving, but if they \u201clost a shred of reputation for the firm, (he) would be ruthless,\u201d he was not only setting expectations internally \u2013 he was setting them externally as well, revealing to all the company\u2019s stakeholders what type of governance and management practices and systems they could expect the firm to employ.<\/p>May 11, 2018

Reputation is measurable, manageable, and insurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputations are valuable strategic intangible assets. Threats to these assets\u23e4 enterprise reputation risks, often mislabeled \u201cbrand risks\u201d \u23e4 need to be managed, and management needs to be overseen through reputation risk governance lest reputational damage or reputational harm result in long-tailed go-forward losses in economic value and\/or political power. Because these intangible risks arise from the interplay of stakeholder expectation, experiences, and media amplification, parametric insurances for intangible asset risks, for reputational value, for reputational harm, and for reputation assurance help mitigate risk by telling a simple, convincing and completely credible story of quality reputation governance to stakeholders. This story telling effect is the expressive power of insurance complementing insurance\u2019s better known instrumental power of indemnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputation value is a strategic power companies use to sell more, faster, and at premium prices; and to obtain labor, vendor services, as well as capital on preferred terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Context and Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk managers are now central to the process for managing risks to reputation and that\u2019s a process marketers and communications professionals need to be a part of. The oversight of reputation risk management is mission-critical.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courts have increasingly been ruling that reputation is a mission critical function and oversight of its management is a responsibility of the board of directors. Courts are also ruling that marketing statements companies make \u2013 if they related to issues that affect their reputation, like ESG \u2013 may be considered material by investors. Litigation along these lines has yielded large settlements or verdicts for plaintiffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, the SEC has proposed new rules requiring disclosures by public companies related to their ESG activities; those statements could become a communications and reputational minefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, reputation risk management is evolving into an intelligence gathering operation spanning the entire enterprise, roping in the enterprise risk manager, compliance counsel, and increasingly, reporting up to the Chief Legal Officer. There is a growing recognition that reputation is not a product merely of marketing and media coverage, but of the degree to which stakeholders\u2019 expectations are aligned with actual performance. The reputation risk management process requires a thorough and ongoing analysis of stakeholder expectations, the risks of disappointment, and a plan for either managing those expectations or assessing and insuring against the cost of failure.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Last Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are ESG insurance<\/a> or reputation insurance<\/a> part of your strategy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
