Volatile markets and complex global supply chains present companies with enormous challenges – proactive credit risk management is therefore essential to ensure financial stability and planning certainty. Our online event offers exclusive insights into the latest developments and strategies for hedging receivables and optimising your risk structure.

In the first part of the event, Tobias Heidemann, Chief Information Security Officer and speaker at the Gesamtverband der versicherungsnehmenden Wirtschaft e.V. (GVNW), will provide an up-to-date overview of the credit insurance market, covering cover, sanctions and the latest news. Matthias Beck, Head of Group Insurance/Risk Management at the Würth Group and a member of the GVNW Executive Board, will report on the implementation of credit insurance within a captive – a current project of the Würth Group.

In the second part, Dr Johannes Rosner, Head of Group Treasury at Prinzhorn Holding, explains how the Austrian group of companies, which manufactures paper and packaging materials, has implemented external hedging solutions to manage high volumes of trade receivables, manages a multinational programme and efficiently outsources credit assessment processes for large receivables to trade credit insurers. The session will be moderated by Verena Westrup-Alfermann, a member of the VDT’s Risk Management committee.
