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 a dedicated ESG risk assessment that covers a wide range of topics. The platform also correlates assessment results with continuous external monitoring of vendor practices, making it easy to streamline and simplify your ESG reporting and compliance initiatives.

Key Benefits
