The RMM Recognition is given to organizations achieving high levels of ERM maturity, as defined by the RIMS Risk Maturity Model. Over the past 10 years, thousands of organizations have used the model as a tool to assess and improve their risk management programs, ultimately driving results for their businesses. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Risk and Insurance found that organizations achieving higher levels of maturity, as defined by the RMM, can experience a cumulative 25 percent firm valuation premium. "Enhancing risk management to be proactive risk taking and cover strategy is still new, and there is no textbook approach for all to use," said 2015 and 2016 RMM Recognition recipient Hans Læssøe, Senior Director, Strategic Risk Management at LEGO Systems A/S. "In the development [of a program], the RMM maturity model is a strong guide as to where to focus your efforts for optimal impact and value."

"Argo Group is delighted to be recognized for the second year within the RIMS Risk Maturity Model scheme," said Alex Hindson, Chief Risk Officer at Argo Group. "Within Argo, the Risk Maturity Model is a key tool that we have used to articulate our risk strategy to the Board of Directors and external stakeholders such as credit rating agencies and regulators. It has allowed us to monitor and track progress over time and make adjustments to our enterprise risk management program as the need arises. It is a powerful communication tool and we are thankful for [the] continued support and recognition."
