Common questions addressed include:
How do I select the right suppliers in the right locations? How can I be sure local operators comply with international standards? How do I monitor risk efficiently? How do I win stakeholder support? Verisk Maplecroft’s risk advisory team works with multinational corporations to assess and manage their risks across global operations, supply chains and distribution networks.
Our services include: devising and implementing risk management strategies, structuring and writing award-winning sustainability reports, developing approaches for successful stakeholder engagement, and helping clients understand and mitigate risk across entire value chains.
Case Studies
Partnering with Sedex to create ethical supply chain management tools
Partnering with Sedex to create ethical supply chain management tools
Sedex is a not for profit membership organisation for businesses committed to the continuous improvement of ethical and responsible supply chain practices. Verisk Maplecroft worked with Sedex to develop its Supplier Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and risk assessment tools. Both are benchmarked against best practice standards including SA 8000©, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, as well as the Ethical Trading Initiative and other standards relevant to the retail, food and garment sectors. The risk assessment tool leverages a limited selection of Verisk Maplecroft country risk indices – with further in-depth information and root cause analysis available via our products and services.
Stakeholder engagement for the logistics and transportation sector
Stakeholder engagement for the logistics and transportation sector
Verisk Maplecroft led nine separate stakeholder engagement exercises over a period of four years for a global post, express and logistics company, which helped them achieve a number one position on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. This included online research, extensive use of survey tools, workshops, direct interviews with customers, suppliers, subcontractors, employees, investors and civil society. Following this review, we worked with our client to systematically address stakeholder concerns.

Our work to date includes: the development of a customised risk management dashboard; internal engagement programmes at mine operations across three continents; development of an integrated mine lifecycle approach to global risks and Sustainable Development (SD) planning; and advice on Sustainable Strategy development at Board level, including on key topics such as resource nationalism. “Verisk Maplecroft has been instrumental in helping us formulate our Sustainable Development strategy,” commented our client. These Integrated Annual Reports have also won numerous industry awards.
