risk analysesemerging markets (EMRA®)
The key question our Emerging Markets Risk Assessment examines is that of the risk there might be to your company’s reputation, and therefore also to the success of your company, if you collaborate with companies or become involved in countries which violate recognised social and environmental standards. Our analyses will thus provide you with a basis for decisions on capital spending, financing or investment.
Any involvement in NICs and developing countries brings with it certain social and environmental risks. Financing projects which have negative environmental impacts, getting entangled in corruption or working with local suppliers who are grossly flouting employment laws can do severe damage to a company’s reputation. In addition, financial risks can arise directly, for example where, for social or environmental reasons, delays occur in the implementation of projects.
A knowledge of the situation in NICs and developing countries is a precondition for the proactive management of social and environmental risks. EMRA® documents and evaluates the social and environmental situation in NICs and developing countries. This establishes a solid foundation on which you can structure your involvement in these countries – whether it be investing capital, entering into business relations, financing projects or investing directly in these countries.
