The sustainable partnership between Lantis and Vanbreda Risk & Benefits

Construction companies experience more frequent and serious work accidents than those in other sectors. A company is considered to be characterised by aggravated risk if the risk index exceeds a certain level during a three-year observation period. To ensure employees’ safety, specific measures are taken for situations involving aggravated risks. What new rules apply and affect your company?

Cyber attacks are hitting Belgian businesses harder than ever: Vanbreda Risk & Benefits, the country’s largest insurance broker, recorded one new cyber incident every week last year. That represents an increase of 64% on 2023. Although three-quarters of these incidents cost no more than 20,000 euros, 4% of businesses lost more than 1 million euros. Despite this, many businesses in Belgium continue to underestimate the risks. The new European legislation* designed to boost businesses’ resilience to cyber attacks should change this situation in 2025.

The insurance sector is changing all the time and is taking the necessary steps to serve construction companies even better in the future. Peter Anckaert, Senior Broker at Vanbreda Risk & Benefits, lists four key transformations.

The cooperation between Vanbreda Risk & Benefits and Kim's Chocolates goes back 20 years. Cooperation and open communication at all levels are decisive factors for the successful and long-term business relationship.
