Lockton is the world’s largest privately owned independent insurance broker, providing risk management, insurance, and employee benefits services to businesses in over 160 countries. Through their Asset Connect® platform, they extend into smart building data — connecting Building Management Systems to real-time risk, energy, and ESG dashboards for real estate owners and facilities managers.

Lockton is the world’s largest privately held independent insurance brokerage, generating over $4 billion in annual revenue. The firm provides insurance, risk management, employee benefits, and reinsurance services to clients across more than 160 countries. Their Global Real Estate & Construction (GREAC) division specialises in tailored insurance and risk advisory for property owners, developers, and facilities managers — covering property damage, liability, business interruption, environmental risk, and construction-related exposures.

Lockton serves a broad range of industries, with a dedicated practice for real estate and construction clients including commercial landlords, asset managers, property developers, and facilities operators. Their risk management approach goes beyond insurance placement — they offer on-site risk assessments, business continuity planning, fire risk control, and health and safety programmes.

In January 2026, Lockton launched Asset Connect®, a proprietary building intelligence product that installs a plug-and-play observer device into a building’s existing BMS to extract real-time operational data — covering HVAC performance, water systems, air quality, fire hazards, and energy usage. This data is visualised in a secure dashboard enabling proactive maintenance, energy optimisation, ESG reporting, and improved insurance outcomes, making Lockton a unique player at the intersection of risk management and smart building technology.
