The article, Mind the gap: What 1,000 executives reveal about supply chain insurance misalignment, draws on findings from the WTW Global Supply Chain Survey 2025, which surveyed 1,000 firms across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The research explores how many organisations remain underinsured against key supply chain disruptions, particularly in areas such as reputation, environmental risk and contingent business interruption, while also examining how traditional insurance structures are struggling to keep pace with increasingly complex, non-damage supply chain disruptions.
The article forms part of an ongoing research collaboration between WTW Research and the UK SCALE Centre, the UK node of the MIT Global SCALE Network, founded in partnership with MIT’s Center for Transportation & Logistics.
The research was authored by Simon Sølvsten, Professor Donato Masi, Professor Jan Godsell, Anna Mate and Dr Yasmine Sabri.
