Focus on what matters: Effectiveness in ESG risk scoping

To receive the materials from the session, please fill in the form.

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
