Industry Risk · Available now
A sector name is a starting point. Industry Risk shows how environmental, social and governance exposure differs across business activities, so your assessment can follow the way production actually works. Compare activities in the platform, or commission a sector assessment focused on your suppliers.
Compare industries on a common 0–100 risk scale. Select a factor to see the question it could put into a supplier review.

Where do dyeing and finishing take place, and how is water managed?
A question to investigate, not a finding about an industry or supplier.Selected factors are shown for explanation. Overall scores are not simple averages of these examples.
A textile supplier may arrange spinning, dyeing and finishing across different sites. Each stage changes what a useful assessment needs to cover.
Industry intelligence helps you identify the risk factors relevant to those activities. Our consultants can turn that starting point into a supplier assessment brief: the production stages to examine, evidence to request and questions to build into your audit framework.
Turn risk into tailored audit questionsA broad industry score helps you decide where to look. Understanding the activities behind it helps you decide what to ask. Follow a textile production chain to see how the assessment brief changes.
Follow the water and chemicals through the process.
Where does wet processing happen, and how are water use, chemical handling and discharge managed?
Illustrative assessment questions, not findings about textile operations. Production arrangements vary; confirm which activities a supplier carries out or contracts out.
When your portfolio spans several industries, attention has to go somewhere first. Use industry risk to make the choice explicit and explain what work should follow.
Compare the proposed supplier’s activities with the factors that matter in its industry. Decide what evidence you need before approving the relationship.
Take into the decision A focused evidence request and a clear assessment scope.
Compare sector exposure alongside your sourcing footprint and the gaps in supplier evidence. A score helps set priorities; the importance of that supplier and what remains unknown help shape the response.
Take into the decision A reasoned sequence of supplier reviews, with an owner for each.
A new process, production site or subcontractor can change the questions. Revisit the industry and location context, and use monitoring to keep emerging issues in view between assessments.
Take into the decision An updated brief and the signals your team needs to follow.
The same activity can face different conditions in different places. Break industry data down to regional or city level to examine the operating context around the work.
