The 2025 Risk Radar Report from Healix finds a significant gap in risk resilience and a crisis in confidence among UK businesses.
The global risk management company’s annual survey revealed that 58% of businesses rated their organisations as either ‘not very resilient’ or only ‘somewhat resilient’ when it comes to handling crises.
A further 56% of respondents indicated low confidence in their ability to endure a major disruption, highlighting the urgent need for improved risk preparedness.
The Risk Radar Report provides insights into regional risks across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, CIS, the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Africa. It also offers professional advice from Healix’s Risk and Security Advisory Board on steps businesses should take to bolster their risk management strategies.
Volatile global economy a cause for concern
The findings come as an overwhelming 96% of UK businesses agree that the world is becoming a more dangerous place.
Top concerns for 2025 include political instability (35%), pandemics and disease (34%), and governance, regulations, and sanctions (32%). This marks a shift from last year’s report, where extreme weather was seen as the most pressing risk to operations by 2030.
