The Risk Advisory Group

Prepare. Grow. Respond.

Risk Advisory has been advising clients for more than 25 years. We offer a global service with offices in London, New York, Washington, DC., Zurich, Moscow and Singapore. Our experienced and multidisciplinary team of investigators and regional specialists includes former lawyers, journalists, academics, and government officials, as well as those with commercial and sector backgrounds. We combine rigorous research and creative investigative strategies with the language capabilities, country-specific knowledge and established networks of our regionally-focused teams.

Environmental, Social and Governance Intelligence

We access hard-to-find information 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. Typical scenarios include:

• Working directly with investment teams to support deal diligence with ESG Intelligence and Human Rights Diligence and Impact Assessments;
• 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: when sensitive ESG issues arise in the context of an ongoing project, we help our clients to understand and to mitigate them via a four-part process: investigation, stakeholder mapping, analysis and mitigation.
• Providing board-level intelligence to support strategic decision-making across the spectrum.
