We think differently.

Better supply chain decisions start with understanding people and places. With 45 years of combined experience across audit, consultancy and technology, our risk intelligence and independent audits bring you closer to both, with practical advice on what to do next.

Risk intelligence.
A clearer next step.

A sourcing decision rarely comes with all the answers. Our analysts investigate the places, materials and businesses that matter to yours.

Commission a country briefing, a supplier investigation or a focused risk assessment. We bring the evidence together, explain its limits and help turn the findings into practical due diligence.

What sits behind the factory gate?

Define the enquiry
Look beyond the export factory to recruitment, subcontracted workshops and employer-provided housing.
Weigh the evidence
Separate documented wage and freedom-of-association concerns from gaps in information about accommodation.
Prepare the next step
Direct site enquiries towards pay records, worker representation and living conditions where housing is provided.

Audits that get closer to
working life.

The people doing the work have a perspective no policy can provide. Our independent audits bring their accounts together with records and conditions on site.

Understand where practice meets expectations, investigate inconsistencies and leave with findings your team can act on.

A supported finding comes from considering the evidence together.

Different experience.
A shared conviction.

45 years of combined experience across audit, consultancy and technology.

We believe better due diligence starts with better questions. Our team connects what happens in a workplace with the evidence behind a risk score, so the next decision is grounded in both.

one risk picture.

A country, commodity or industry is a starting point. Connect the different perspectives to understand your exposure and decide where deeper work will help.

Understand what comes
with the material.

Commodity risk examines a material’s environmental, social and governance exposure, regardless of where it is sourced. Our analysts can assess your material portfolio and identify priorities for further enquiry.

Keep the picture
connected. And current.

A risk assessment should inform the next decision, too. Understand the relationships behind your suppliers and keep watch for changes that deserve a response.

Notice the change.
Prepare the response.

Alerts & monitoring keep your priority locations, materials and suppliers in view. Receive new-issue alerts by email and use forecasts to consider where pressure may emerge.

Our analysts can assess what a signal means for your sourcing and help plan a proportionate response. The platform supports day-to-day monitoring.
