What sits behind a CAHRA assessment?
Our framework examines conflict, governance and human rights. Geo-referenced incidents contribute to the conflict picture; governance indicators and documentary reporting add context. Pillar-level scores help explain which dimensions drive the classification of an assessed area.
Does a CAHRA designation mean we should stop sourcing?
A designation is a reason to investigate the circumstances and apply appropriate due diligence. Decisions depend on the risks identified, your relationship to them and the response required. Aseri helps you understand the context for that decision.
Why does the sub-national view matter?
Conflict, governance and human rights conditions can vary within the same country. Regional intelligence helps you focus on the places connected to a mine, production site or transport route, while keeping the national context in view.
How current is the intelligence?
Aseri’s CAHRA intelligence is continually updated as new information becomes available. Source datasets update on different schedules, and reporting can be incomplete. Discuss your sourcing locations with us to examine the underlying evidence and its dates alongside the assessment.
How can we check coverage for our sourcing locations?
Bring the countries, regions and production or transit locations relevant to your supply chain. Explore the available intelligence in the platform, or commission a geographic brief. Our consultants can examine the evidence and its dates, identify gaps and set out the questions that need further research or local verification.
