Our organization

FM: A mutual commitment to loss prevention


Nearly two centuries ago, a small group of mill owners revolutionized property insurance by taking loss prevention into their own hands. Today, FM is a leader in risk management serving many of the world’s largest organizations, including one in four Fortune 500 companies that operate across a variety of industries.

With engineering at the center of our risk management, our nearly 2000 boots-on-the-ground engineers gather insights and develop innovative technologies along with our global research center. This helps us to identify the hazards, natural or man-made, that our clients face and predict the likelihood of exposure. We can then deliver them tailored solutions and actionable strategies across our six distinct lines of business. All to keep our clients ahead of risk and their businesses growing.

Our blend of experience, expertise, and empathy enables us to go beyond insurance to build lasting partnerships. As a mutual, our success is our clients’ success, strengthening our bonds and supporting each other’s growth. Our shared belief that most loss is preventable helps our clients identify, prepare for, and mitigate risks to create long-term resilience.

Resilience and forward thinking are key to the strength and future of your business. Working together, we can set the stage for opportunity and progress, protecting today for a better tomorrow.
