RepRisk’s assessment of the environmental and social performance of a company is based on the company’s activities in the field as observed by independent third parties, and is not derived from information provided by the company itself. We monitor all print media, more than 700 NGO websites, newsletters, news websites, blogs and other online sources daily. As of today, RepRisk had identified more than 10,000 listed and non-listed companies as well as 2,100 projects that are viewed as controversial. On average five new controversial companies and projects are identified and entered into the database every day. RepRisk features: Individual watchlists allow you to track the environmental, social, and reputational risk exposure of individual companies in a portfolio, shortlist or investment universe. An alert service automatically sends you a news item related to new risk exposure for a company in your portfolio or watchlist.
