Policies related to child labor laws, employee rights and safety, and corporate strategies are created and managed by the leadership team. Hence, with offices across the globe (North America, Asia, Europe), there is a probability that regional nuances associated with risk management may be overlooked

Action Points

The risk score card highlights specific company actions which are contributing to their risk exposure. Each action is labelled either low, moderate, or high to help streamline the assessment process.
