Risk Advisory’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) consultancy and advisory practice sits alongside integrity due diligence, disputes and investigations, and strategic intelligence as an integrative part of the wider business intelligence team.

Our ESG intelligence consultancy is part of a holistic set of services that drive and protect value creation while ensuring your business operates ethically and with integrity. In the long term, it’s advantage intelligence that’s creating a better world to work and live in. Our methods are informed by nearly three decades of experience in governance-led intelligence.

We leverage global expertise and a rich intelligence network to help clients identify, understand and mitigate a range of complex ESG-focussed issues across their supply chains, enabling them to develop an ESG strategy.

All our investigations are tailored but broadly speaking, fall into the following three categories:

  • We advise you on the reputational risks associated with a transaction or counterparty in your supply chain. These human rights due diligence and broader impact assessments unearth potential forced labour, unethical labour practices, discrimination, community rights, land and water rights, governance structures and anti-corruption issues.
  • When a specific issue or allegation has been identified, we help you understand which key stakeholders are involved, what the social, political and ethnic context is and what the public perception is.
  • We provide you with tailored insight into your industry, regulatory and political trends that may impact your activities going forward and will advise you on how to protect your businesses against future ESG issues.
The firm approaches ESG by applying a rigorous intelligence gathering and assessment process that makes use of its extensive local networks and access to qualitative data that is not otherwise publicly available.
