Abstract Risk management (RM) has been widely studied and adopted as a solution for predicting rapid market changes, increasing industrial and social security, preserving the environment, and preventing disasters. Thus, risk management has become a strategic element for the competitiveness and sustained development of organizations. RM enables the identification, analysis, evaluation, and treatment of risks that affect the organization’s objectives, positively or negatively. This work was developed using the Integrative Review method, which enabled an integrated review, critique, and synthesis of the literature on RM, based on analyses of patents and websites from governments, companies, and research institutes. With this, a new block of RM knowledge was created from the triangulation of information from the main drivers of innovation in society, expanding the existing studies on the subject and providing a basis for further research. As an applied contribution, this study will promote the implementation of RM across governments, companies, and universities, thereby reducing work accidents and environmental incidents, lowering costs, improving productivity, and, consequently, helping organizations consistently achieve their objectives and goals.
