ution in managing expenses amid ongoing economic uncertainty.” Full year growth was 1% compared to 4% last year
“The 8% organic growth in our Corporate Risk & Broking business marks the 12th consecutive quarter that the business has recorded high single-digit growth … despite a more challenging pricing environment,” Hess said.
“I’m particularly pleased with the strong results in our CRB North America business, which grew by high single digits, driven by increased M&A activity and new business across several specialty lines, including construction and surety,” he added.
“As evidenced by our fourth quarter performance and new business wins, we saw attractive returns on our investments in talent and innovation in 2025, and we’ll continue to prioritize investment opportunities that further accelerate our performance,” Hess said.
