Navigating ESG
– are you prepared for tomorrow?
Understanding your ESG-related exposure is vital. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are now a strategic priority for businesses of all sizes.
Climate change has revealed otherwise overlooked vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, new standards and regulations are having far-reaching implications for businesses, which makes understanding ESG-related exposure across your value chain essential.
Critical ESG risks and your value chain:
Extreme weather events
Established trade routes and production are being disrupted by climate-related events such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires.
Emissions, pollution
and damage
Businesses must closely monitor their environmental impact and follow through with climate commitments to avoid ‘greenwashing’.
Resource shortages
and energy prices
Shortages can halt production altogether, while energy prices can severely impact operations and dent profits.
Labour disputes and
workforce safety
Maintaining working standards across your supply chain is top of the agenda, violations can result in major penalties and reputational risk.
Corruption
and conflicts
Geopolitical events send shockwaves across your supply chain, while sanctions and embargoes add new pressure.
Mandatory
reporting
Changes to legislation and disclosure requirements consistently rank in the top 5 perils facing businesses as they come under closer scrutiny from all sides.
Non-payment risk is on the rise. Our economic research team predict
