Environmental, Social & Governance Risk Monitoring

Assess and continuously monitor your supply chain against ESG criteria

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria include important guidelines that you can use to assess potential suppliers, vendors or other third parties against your organization’s own policies and customer expectations.

ESG risk management addresses three primary classes of risk:

  • Environmental criteria consider how a company performs in sustainability – for example their energy use, waste, pollution, and/or consumption of natural resources.

  • Social criteria examine how a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates – for example in diversity, human rights and protecting consumers.

  • Governance deals with a company’s management, executive pay, audits and internal controls, and shareholder rights.

As more governments consider ESG regulations, and customers expect sound ESG practices, now is the time to consider how your third parties stack up. The Prevalent Third-Party Risk Management Platform includes capabilities to assess third parties against a number of ESG topics, and correlate the findings with continuous external monitoring into vendor practices.

Key Benefits

  • Minimize business disruptions with continuous visibility into each vendor’s ESG reputation and track record

  • Gain a clear picture of third-party ESG practices – before and after signing supplier contracts

  • Reduce complexity by centrally managing ESG assessments with all other risk assessments
