Excellence in physical and infrastructure risk analytics
What the Chartis Risk50 ranking means
Where we excel
We’ve received this recognition for the second year in a row. In 2024, Munich Re was among the Top 3 in the Chartis Physical Climate Risk50. This year, the Chartis evaluation shifted its focus to data and analytics for the physical and infrastructure risks arising from chronic and acute perils. Along with the change in emphasis, our excellence continues to improve.
The Chartis ranking is carried out across five elements: functionality, technology, innovation, strategy, impact. These criteria ensure that the scoring reflects both technical merit and practical value. Compared to our 2024 totals, our category scores have improved.
| Score | 2025 | 2024 | Point increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 78.8 | 75.6 | +3.2 |
| Functionality | 81.0 | 75.0 | +6.0 |
| Impact | 78.0 | 78.0 | +0.0 |
| Core technology | 77.0 | 73.0 | +4.0 |

Winner in financial impact analytics
The report also looks at high-level trends and dynamics in this market. As catastrophic events increase in frequency and severity, organisations must move beyond generic risk assessments. The Chartis Risk50 assessment defines physical and infrastructure risks (PIRA) in the context of prior-year climate risk research and evolving use cases.
We took top honour in the category of PIRA modelling in Financial Impact Analysis. Along with enabling companies to manage evolving risks, our solution helps businesses anticipate the potential financial extent of natural disasters. By integrating physical risk exposure into projections, companies can identify vulnerabilities and steer investments. Proactive planning safeguards revenue and reveals emerging opportunities.
Munich Re’s top 3 placing in the Chartis Physical and Infrastructure Risk50, and its award for Financial Impact Analytics, both reflect its deep domain expertise and sustained investment in data-driven climate intelligence. By integrating scientific modeling with practical risk transfer capabilities, Munich Re bridges the gap between academic research and real-world financial resilience. As demand for climate-informed decision-making accelerates across sectors, the company has emerged as a consistent leader, helping institutions navigate physical risk, climate risk and capital exposure.
Why is a top 3 position so significant?
Chartis Research applies a rigorous scoring model to evaluate providers across aspects ranging from technical capability to strategic vision. Through a high ranking, companies showcase characteristics that include:
- Market leadership. Achieving a top 3 spot from the 50 contenders demonstrates that a company is among the best worldwide in physical and infrastructure risk analytics.
- Innovation and impact. The ranking highlights innovation in risk modelling, data integration, and scenario analysis. These companies are shaping the future of risk management and resilience planning.
- High quality. In risk analytics, data quality is critical. Small differences in location can lead to significant differences in risk estimates. Being among the best-in-class signals to clients, partners, and regulators that the company delivers reliable, high-quality solutions.
