Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Verisk's core business is providing data analytics and risk assessment solutions to businesses in the insurance, energy, financial services, and supply chain industries, rather than offering direct consumer lending or deposit services. Therefore, most KPIs related to consumer financial products are not applicable. For fair lending compliance, Verisk launched FairCheck in November 2023, a solution designed to help insurers assess their personal lines models for potential unfair discrimination against protected classes, such as race.

Verisk's internal assessment of its personal auto rating model found that race was not a contributing factor, and the methodology for FairCheck was reviewed by the Maguire Academy of Insurance and Risk Management.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Verisk Analytics Inc. demonstrates strong employee engagement, with 82% of employees considering it a great workplace in 2024, leading to its eighth consecutive Great Place to Work Certification.

The company offers competitive salaries, annual merit reviews, and a 401(k) program with a 100% company cash match up to 6%. Employees receive health insurance plans, paid time off, and flexible work options. Verisk also provides various well-being resources and supports employee development through programs like CareerCon, Learning Breaks, and leadership initiatives, alongside promoting diversity and inclusion via Employee Networks. The company publishes a Statement on Modern Slavery, reflecting its commitment to upholding human rights and protecting against forced labor and human trafficking. However, employee feedback indicates areas for improvement in workload management, expectations of unpaid overtime, and limited management support.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Verisk Analytics does not procure or trade physical commodities and does not engage in manufacturing operations.

Consequently, none of its Tier 1 procurement spending is directed at industries frequently associated with high-risk materials like agriculture or extractives, resulting in 0% high-risk spend. The company's Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes robust ethical clauses prohibiting forced labor and addressing modern slavery, applies to all suppliers. This code is supported by audit rights and annual supplier attestations, and Verisk contracts with a risk and compliance organization for third-party screening of Tier 1 and prospective suppliers. This monitoring scans daily content from government bulletins and news sources in approximately 200 countries. In 2024, none of the risk alerts from this monitoring involved allegations of modern slavery.

Honest & Fair Business

Verisk Analytics has a comprehensive Whistleblower Policy (Version 2.0, January 2025) that applies to all subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and subcontractors.

It provides an independent, 24/7 anonymous hotline (web and phone) for reporting concerns related to accounting, auditing, ethics, and the Code of Business Conduct. The policy explicitly prohibits retaliation, requires training at hire and at least annually, and mandates quarterly reporting summaries to the Risk and Audit Committees. Verisk also has a robust Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy (Version 6.0, November 2024) that aligns with international acts like the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act. This policy prohibits bribery, requires accurate record-keeping, and mandates annual training for all employees and associated persons. It includes annual compliance risk assessments, due diligence for third-party engagements in high-risk countries, and a system for recording gifts and hospitality. Facilitation payments are permitted only if reported within 10 business days.

Kind to Animals

Verisk Analytics Inc. operates primarily in data analytics and technology solutions, with no direct involvement in activities related to animal welfare, such as animal testing, farming, or wildlife conservation.

The company's corporate governance policies, including its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Supplier Code of Conduct, emphasize ethical business practices but do not specifically address animal welfare. Verisk also offers sustainability and resilience solutions to clients, focusing on climate change, human rights, and supply chain risks, which are not directly tied to animal welfare.

No War, No Weapons

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to assess Verisk Analytics Inc against any of the KPIs for the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. The articles describe the company's offerings as data analytics and risk assessment tools for insurers, specifically related to civil unrest and terror risks

, but do not provide information on its involvement in arms manufacturing, military contracts, dual-use technologies with military applications, or related policies and investments. The described products are for civilian insurance risk assessment and are not tied to militarization.

Safe & Smart Tech

Verisk emphasizes responsible data analytics and ethical AI principles, advocating for comprehensive AI governance frameworks

and ethical AI policies to mitigate biases and ensure fairness. The company contributed to an industry AI Code of Conduct and highlights its FairCheck solution for insurance model bias assessment. Verisk is also a Diamond Member of IAPP. However, Verisk is facing a class-action lawsuit for allegedly receiving driving-behavior data from Hyundai without consent for insurance purposes , and senators have called for an FTC investigation into the company for sharing driver data without consent , noting potential privacy violations. These allegations indicate practices that undermine user privacy.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

No evidence was found in the provided articles regarding Verisk Analytics Inc.'s performance on waste reduction, product sustainability, or circular economy initiatives. The articles primarily focus on climate risk analysis

, TCFD alignment , and greenhouse gas emissions reduction (Scope 1 and 2) , which falls outside the scope of the 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products' ethical value as defined.
