On October 8, 2025, Willis Towers Watson’s Special Contingency Risks (SCR) announced the launch of an Enhanced Victim Support (EVS) insurance extension designed to provide comprehensive coverage for hostage victims and their families. The new product offers rehabilitation, salary support, and medical and psychiatric care, and is available to SCR policyholders.
The EVS extension is part of a partnership with Hostage International, a charity founded by Sir Terry Waite and Carlo Laurenzi. For each EVS policy sold, Willis will donate a portion of the premium to Hostage International, strengthening the company’s corporate social responsibility profile.
By adding this niche coverage to its portfolio, SCR expands its offerings in the high‑risk insurance market and creates a potential new revenue stream. The launch also signals WTW’s continued focus on specialized, high‑margin products that address emerging client needs.
