2014 FM Global resilience index: executive summary

This document presents the FM Global Resilience Index as the first data-driven tool and repository that ranks the business resilience of 130 countries. It is designed to help executives evaluate and manage supply chain risk. Nine key drivers of supply chain risk are grouped into three categories: (i) economic; (ii) risk quality, including exposure to natural hazard, quality of natural hazard risk management and quality of fire risk management; and (iii) supply chain factors.

These categories combine to form the composite index. Scores are bound on a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 representing the lowest resilience and 100 being the highest resilience. The inaugural index allows for browsing of countries’ rankings and scores from 2011 to 2014, to reflect both improvements and declines in individual countries’ relative rankings.
