Focus on what matters: Effectiveness in ESG risk scoping

Date: Wednesday 22nd April
Time: 11am - 11.30 (CET)
Location: Online - GoToWebinar

Overview

Supply chain risk is rising, but so is the pressure to act quickly, credibly, and defensibly. In practice, many organisations respond by expanding assessments: more questionnaires, more audits, more scoring models. The result can be a programme that generates activity, but not necessarily impact.

This webinar is about a different centre of gravity: prioritisation. Drawing on the discussion between Jean-Baptiste Collovray and Timothy Perkin, we’ll explore why companies shouldn’t aim for a “perfect” risk assessment. Instead, they need a consistent, risk-based way to identify the most salient risks and move quickly into mitigation, remediation, and verification, even if that means accepting some lower-severity issues may be missed in early iterations.

We’ll also show how ESG Waypoint can provide an early-stage, evidence-based starting point aligned with risk-based due diligence expectations, helping teams prioritise effort and move to action.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to:

Understand why a race to the “perfect” risk assessment often means little time and resources where it is most urgently required.
Apply a consistent, risk-based method to identify the salient risks.
Translate risk assessment outputs into risk management actions.
Describe how tools can support early-stage, defensible and efficient risk scoping
Take away practical, sector-specific scenarios

The questions asked in this form will be covered in the webinar
