RCG - 50 years managing risk

2021 marks the 50-year anniversary of RCG - Risk Consulting Group. It was originally established in 1971 under the trade name Herco, in order to run the risk management programme for one of Brazil's largest fabric company’s, the Hering Group.

Herco quickly made a name for itself thanks to its advanced technical accuracy, technological sophistication, and innovative approaches.

It did not take long for Herco to diversify into other market segments and in the early 2000s Herco Portugal was established.  In 2013 the organisation invested in expansion into new geographical territories (Europe, Africa, and North America).  A few years later, in 2018, with a consolidated presence in five continents, Herco made way for RCG - Risk Consulting Group, with the rebrand underlining the organisation's increasingly global scope. In 2020, RCG again qualified for the ISO 9000 e 9001, the inarguable proof of quality.

In addition to a host of ongoing projects in Europe, Latin America, and Africa, RCG continued to pursue international expansion and opened branch offices in Mexico, the US and Asia.

“Celebrating 50 years of a company that builds its core around the daily management of diverse risks is a major achievement, even more so in this challenging moment for companies worldwide” comments Jorge Luzzi, RCG CEO.

He adds: “Our team has the experience, expertise and technical acumen to identify, prevent and mitigate the threats that exist in any business. We will continue on our path to success, persisting in innovation and development of new solutions and products that address the needs of our customers anywhere in the world.”
