This edition of Carrier Management focuses on the risk management of supply chains—from loss prevention to insurance to claims.

Also featured: Profiles of InsurTechs Coalition and Tractable; MGA Trends; Claims/Legal trends including genomic information in toxic tort cases and the growing costs of pesticides risks.
