Assess your risk of complicity
Your reputation is at risk every time you source goods and services, make investments or set up distribution in new markets. Every business needs to understand the risk it runs of being complicit with human rights violations; even if violations are outside your operations, they may be considered within your sphere of influence.
Comprehensive insight
Concerns about human rights arise from many different issues - human security, labour rights and civil liberties. So Maplecroft has created indices for 20 different sets of violations. Aggregated indices – on human security, labour rights, civil liberties and the overall human rights situation – summarise each country's individual risk profile and relevant business responsibilities.
Quantitative measures
Each credible data source on human rights has been assessed and scored allowing you to conveniently benchmark a country as well as drilling down by particular issue to gain a better understanding of the issues at stake. By quantifying this information (mostly only available qualitatively) we make it easier to use in assessing and planning your supply chain auditing, your investment decisions, your day-to-day operations and your distribution profile.
Individual country report cards and detailed briefings
We deliver individual report cards on each country allowing you to assess its human rights situation at a glance. These are also brought together in a global report. Detailed country human rights risk briefings are available on request. These are updated quarterly and can be tailored to your specifications.
