Risk Data
Structured country and sub-national risk scores across environmental, social, political and economic factors — helping organisations make more informed, confident decisions across operations, supply chains and investments
Request a demo
Global conditions are becoming more volatile and interconnected, affecting supply chains, investments and operations in ways that are harder to predict. Yet many organisations still rely on fragmented sources and static views of external risk. The challenge isn’t access to information — it’s that structured, comparable insight isn’t embedded in how teams plan, invest or operate. Without a shared, data-driven view:
- Decisions across procurement, sustainability and risk teams remain inconsistent and slow
- Emerging disruptions go unnoticed until they impact assets or supply chains
- Country-level averages mask critical sub-national hotspots
- Siloed tools and manual methods make risks difficult to compare and act on
Organisations need a connected view of country risk that can be embedded into day-to-day decisions — a common picture of the world teams can act on together.
A connected view of risk
Turn fragmented country insights into a single, structured view of risk across your business
Country Risk Data translates complex environmental, social, political and economic risks into clear, comparable scores, so teams share a consistent view of country and sub‑national risk across supply chains, operations, investments and assets. It also shows what drives each score, with full transparency into the underlying indicators and methodology.
Coverage across 198 countries, sub-national for selected risk indices
Climate, environmental, political, economic, governance, and human rights themes
Transparent, documented methodology and standardised scores
Maintained by specialist analysts monitoring global risk developments
Delivery via platform, APIs or partner platforms for easy integration
Consistently identify material political, social, environmental and economic risks across countries, regions, suppliers and assets — using standardised, comparable scores.
Drill into location-level scorecards to understand what is driving risk — including key indicators, historical trends, forward-looking signals and expert qualitative context.
Track how country risk evolves over time, detect early warning signals and distinguish short-term noise from meaningful deterioration or improvement.
Integrate country risk insights into decision-making — from market entry and sourcing strategies to capital allocation, portfolio construction and operational resilience.

Built for your team
Use cases across risk, sustainability and strategy teams
Supply chain risk management & due diligence
Hidden risks in your supply chain
Challenge: Limited visibility of country and sub-national risks across Tier 1–N suppliers, including labour rights, environmental and political risks that can disrupt sourcing or create compliance exposure.
How it works: Screen suppliers and materials by location against country risk indices covering modern slavery, child labour, water stress, conflict and governance, helping teams prioritise audits, supplier engagement and remediation.
Outcome: Stronger supply chain risk management, improved compliance with human rights and environmental due diligence regulations, and more resilient sourcing strategies.
Market entry & expansion
Know the risks before entering a market
Challenge: Strategy and risk teams must evaluate political, environmental, social and economic risks before entering new markets or expanding operations, often with fragmented country intelligence.
How it works: Compare country and sub-national risk scores across political stability, governance, climate exposure and social risk to identify suitable markets and assess potential operational challenges.
Outcome: Better-informed expansion decisions, fewer unforeseen disruptions and stronger long-term investment planning.
Sustainability & ESG risk analysis
Quantify country risk in disclosures
Challenge: Sustainability teams must quantify exposure to climate, environmental and social risks across operations and supply chains to support reporting and risk management.
How it works: Provide structured country risk indicators, benchmarks and comparable ESG risk metrics to support disclosures and integrate external risk into sustainability analysis.
Outcome: More credible sustainability reporting and clearer connections between ESG risks and business performance.
Operational resilience & security
Identify where operations face the greatest disruption risk
Challenge: Security and operational risk teams need to anticipate geopolitical instability, civil unrest and governance risks that could affect facilities, assets or personnel.
How it works: Map operational footprints against political violence, conflict and governance risk indices at country and sub-national level, helping teams monitor emerging hotspots.
Outcome: Improved operational resilience, stronger crisis preparedness and more informed site planning decisions.
Compliance & third-party risk management
Support risk-based due diligence
Challenge: Organisations must demonstrate robust, risk-based country due diligence to comply with evolving sanctions and supply chain regulations.
How it works: Embed country and sub-national risk ratings into procurement, KYC/KYS and third-party risk workflows, supporting consistent screening and audit trails.
Outcome: Stronger regulatory defence, faster due diligence processes and more consistent compliance decisions.
Investment & sovereign risk analysis
Price country risk into investment decisions
Challenge: Investors need to understand how environmental, social, political and economic risks at country level affect portfolio performance and long-term returns.
How it works: Deliver comparable country risk scores and time-series indices to support sovereign risk assessment, portfolio screening and scenario analysis.
Outcome: Better risk-adjusted investment decisions and stronger integration of country risk into portfolio strategy.
