Japan is recognised as one of the most dynamic business cultures in the world, combining vision and innovation with a workplace ethic universally admired by competitors.

Japanese business also demonstrates unique characteristics not found elsewhere, with strong inter-relationships with suppliers and other parties, and a more considered and complex decision-making process.

Japanese companies – of which many are already global brands – are keen to learn from best practices from other parts of the world.

This is becoming true in matters relating to risk management and insurance, especially as Japanese managers give more serious consideration to the concept of globalisation.

Like their non-Japanese competitors, Japanese organisations face many risk and insurance challenges today, relating to the full range of operational, financial and strategic activities.

We believe that our Japanese clients deserve access to best-practices that enable them to build their competitive advantage.

Marsh Japan Client Services (JCS) is ideally placed to provide our clients with the experience and expertise to support this aim.
