A Message from our Founders

As RepRisk marks its 20th anniversary, this milestone is not only about celebrating how far we have come. It is an opportunity to look ahead: to the next 20 years of business conduct risk transparency, trusted data, human-led AI, and better-informed decision-making.

Today, as business conduct risks become more frequent, complex, and costly, the need for clarity, transparency, and trusted data continues to grow. Here, our Co-Founders Dr. Philipp Aeby, CEO, and Nicole Streuli, President, share what 20/20 vision means to them, and how RepRisk is looking ahead to the future.

Seeing risk before it escalates

When we started RepRisk, the idea was simple but ambitious: organizations need transparency on business conduct risk. Traditional due diligence could only show part of the picture. We wanted to build something that enabled clients to identify risk signals earlier, see more clearly, and act with greater confidence.

Twenty years later, that need has only grown. Business conduct risks move faster, information is noisier, and expectations on banks, asset managers, and companies are higher than ever. At the same time, technology, especially AI, is changing how organizations work with data and make decisions.

For me, 20/20 vision captures what RepRisk has always worked towards: enabling clients to see through the fog, identify early warning signals, and act before risks escalate to become liabilities. Looking ahead, I believe trusted data will become even more important. In a world where AI is accelerating decisions, value depends on data that is relevant, accurate, explainable, and auditable – and on keeping human expertise at the center.

Trust: from promises to proof

Over the past 20 years, responsible business has moved from the margins to the mainstream. Topics such as human rights, biodiversity, and greenwashing are now integral parts of boardroom conversations, investor decisions, and public expectations.

In increasingly complex and noisy times, trusted data is precious. It enables people to separate fact from fiction, reality from hallucination, intention from action, and ambition from impact. Responsible decisions are built on high quality data, that is relevant, accurate, and timely.

For me, 20/20 vision means seeing below the surface. It is about understanding how companies behave in the real world, how risks impact people and nature, and how data supports more sustainable decisions – for the bottom line, society, and the environment. Looking ahead, we remain committed to providing our clients with decision-ready data that brings a crystal-clear view of risks from the outside in.
