The Chief Risk Officers Summit An exclusive gathering of chief risk officers, senior leaders, policymakers, and industry experts took place on 21 May 2025, exploring the risk function as a driver of sustainable growth. Hosted by The Rt Hon. The Lord Mayor of London, Alastair King, the Summit aligns with his mayoral theme ‘Growth Unleashed’, which calls on businesses to embrace risk and foster a stronger risk culture. The Summit focused on geopolitical risk; exploring how the industry can respond to challenges such as global rising protectionism and ensure business continuity in an ever-changing geopolitical landscape. The discussions were built on recent work with City St Georges University assessing the dual mandate of chief risk officers: protecting organisations from threats, whilst unlocking value through calculated risk-taking.
