About
Provided by The Risk Advisory Group
We access hard-to-find information and intelligence to help our clients to understand and to mitigate global ESG issues. Our overarching goal is to bridge the gap between decision makers and those affected by their decisions, with a particular emphasis on complex international markets. Whether, working directly with investment teams to support deal diligence; assisting compliance and ESG officers in monitoring the activities under their purview; engaging with communications and external PR teams to manage crises and organise responses to ESG issues; or, providing board-level intelligence to support strategic decision making.
Our reports are tailored to the situation but frequently take the following forms:
Pre-transactional ESG Intelligence.
Supply Chain Due Diligence.
Human Rights Impact Intelligence
Human Rights Due Diligence.
Issue intelligence.
Future proofing: trend mapping, scenario planning and reputation forecasting.
