About the RepRisk® tool
| RepRisk® is a web-based tool that allows you to
identify and assess the environmental and social issues which may
present financial, reputational and ethical risks. It is used by
investment professionals, financial institutions, supply chain
managers, multinational corporations and compliance managers, and
includes a variety of features enabling clients to monitor risk trends
over time, create customized watch lists, tailor alert services and
more. The tool plays an integral role in increasing transparency and
ensuring compliance with internal and international standards, thereby
helping reduce risk exposure. RepRisk’s comprehensive and relevant database enables you to meet the risk management and compliance challenges in an increasingly complex world. On a daily basis, RepRisk tracks a company’s or project’s environmental and social risk exposure by monitoring independent third-party sources such as all major print media, over 700 NGOs, newsletters, news sites, governmental agencies and blogs. Controversial issues covered include environmental footprint and climate change, human rights and community relations, labor conditions and employee relations as well as corruption and money-laundering. In particular, all principles of the UN Global Compact are addressed. RepRisk covers all major business languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish) and its database currently includes over 14,700 companies and 3,100 projects, and is updated and growing daily. |
