Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics and
technology provider, has been recognized by Newsweek, Great Place
to Work® and Latino Leaders for its workplace culture, diversity
and sustainability efforts. These accolades join numerous others
honoring Verisk’s longstanding commitment to its team members and
innovating on behalf of the insurance industry. Verisk’s mission is
rooted in building global resilience for individuals, communities
and businesses.
Newsweek
Newsweek has honored Verisk with multiple awards, celebrating
the company’s commitment to the environment and its workforce.
Verisk was named by Newsweek as one of “America’s Greatest
Workplaces for Diversity 2024” for its dedicated efforts in
recruiting and advancing employees of various ages, races, genders,
sexual orientation and abilities. Additionally, the company was
honored on Newsweek’s inaugural list of “America's Greatest
Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing 2024” for its programming in
support of positive mental wellness in the workplace. This includes
introducing two well-being days across the global organization.
Lastly, Newsweek named Verisk as one of “America's Greenest
Companies 2024,” which evaluated companies based on their
greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste generation and
commitment and disclosures. Highlighting the company’s
environmental stewardship, in 2023 Verisk published
its first-ever report in accordance with the framework
recommended by the Task Force on Climate related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD). The company also proudly reported lower Scope 1
and 2 emissions last year, which were calculated in conjunction
with Verisk’s annual greenhouse gas inventory and response to CDP’s
2023 Climate Change Questionnaire. CDP is a non-profit organization
that hosts a global disclosure system for investors, companies and
other key stakeholders to report and manage their environmental
impacts.
“As a partner to the insurance industry in modeling the
potential impact of climate change on extreme weather events, we
take our responsibility to minimize our environmental impact
seriously,” said Lee Shavel, president and CEO of Verisk. “It
is part of our ongoing commitment to build global resilience by
working with the insurance industry and through the expertise of
our colleagues. We are proud to have Newsweek acknowledge our
sustainability efforts and commitment to prioritizing inclusivity
and wellness in the workplace.”

culture that attracts and retains top talent, driving innovation
