Multinational



Overview
Leveraging an extensive global network, country level expertise, innovation and technology
Sompo International’s Multinational Business Unit offers companies with business operations in multiple countries an industry-leading platform for managing risk. Leveraging licensing capabilities from Sompo companies around the world and a growing network of third-party partners, our Multinational platform offers a convenient, consistent approach to accessing global coverage that is compliant with local regulations in 150 countries.
Target Clients
Sompo International defines multinational business as meeting the risk management needs of clients who must manage the transfer of risk or premium dollars and claims payments across country borders. Typically, this includes the following business profiles:
- Clients with a Controlled Master Program (CMP) in their home country and at least one local underlying insurance policy in another country
- Global clients in need of stand-alone local policies, issued separately in each country, but not tied into a CMP
- Sompo’s Japanese clients with interests outside of Japan

With hubs in the U.S., Europe, UK, Mexico, Singapore and Japan, our integrated global Multinational platform makes it easier for clients with global operations to access the commercial property and casualty coverage they need through a single point of contact.
