Risk Assessment — Overall

The whole value chain plus your market. We run the same assessment on your competitors from public sources, so your exposure, your plan and your ratings are read against the people you are compared to — not in isolation.

In scope

Your chain, and the market you are measured against

Buyers, investors and rating agencies benchmark you whether or not you take part. The assessment is more useful when it says where you sit, with the evidence underneath it.

Everything in the Value Chain scope — direct operations, upstream, downstream, EUDR and the consolidated plan
Competitor sites located and scored on the same eight categories, from public and official sources
Documentary monitoring: identity and published revenue via SIRENE, CSR and sustainability reports, financial reports, codes of conduct and vigilance plans, GHG inventories
CDP and EcoVadis scores, SBTi targets checked against the official file, published commitments and their dates
Every finding kept with an exact evidence quote and its source — declared, documentary and verified are never merged
Competitors you did not name are proposed, never imposed; you decide who belongs in the panel

How it runs

Four steps, and a consultant at the end of each one

The full value chain assessment
Everything in the Value Chain scope runs first and unchanged.
Competitor panel
You name the competitors that matter. The tool proposes others from the sector and the registries; you confirm the panel before anything is scored.
Public-source scoring and monitoring
Competitor locations are scored with the same datasets and the same weights. Documents are read, quoted and dated, with the source kept next to every claim.
Positioning and decision
Where you lead, where you lag, what it would take to close the gap, and what it is worth — written into the same action plan, with budgets and dates.

Continuity case

The same break, read against your market

And the same break read against your market, because whether a risk is a sector condition or a disadvantage of your own changes what you should do about it.

The same break, read against your panel (demo data)Your sites and suppliers scored, then the same eight categories applied to competitors from public and official sources

A continuity break is only half a story until you know whether your competitors carry it too. Scored on the same engine, the panel tells you whether the water exposure at Monterrey is a sector condition everyone prices in, or a disadvantage specific to you. The answer changes the decision: a sector condition is passed into prices, a specific disadvantage is a capital project.

Item	Value	Where it comes from
Competitor exposure	Same eight categories, same scenarios, public sources	Locations found and scored, never a declaration you cannot check
Relative position	Where you lead, where you lag, category by category	The panel you validated, not one imposed on you
Ratings and commitments	CDP and EcoVadis scores, verified SBTi targets, published pledges	Each kept with an exact evidence quote and its date
Cost of the gap	What closing it costs, and what it is worth	Written into the same action plan, with budgets and dates
Insurance and financing	Benchmarked resilience changes what a broker and a lender will price	The comparison they would otherwise make without you
ESRS	2 SBM-3 · 2 IRO-1 · E1-9	Competitive context inside the double materiality assessment
CDP	Peer comparison · modules 1 to 13	The level reachable before and after the plan, module by module

Competitor figures come from public and official sources only, each with its evidence quote. Declared, documentary and verified are never merged.

Compliance tables

The compliance tables you actually reuse

Annexes A to I are delivered in Excel, Word, PDF and an HTML explorer. They are the part clients come back to: not the narrative, the tables. Each one is produced from the data the assessment already holds, so nothing is retyped and every cell keeps its source.

Annex	Table	What is in it
A	World inventory of labels, certifications, standards, ratings and regulations	147 instruments, 19 columns each — issuing body, jurisdictions, thresholds, deadlines, procedure, validity, official source, verification date, confidence and limits
B	Schemes by company and site	What applies to each entity and each location, split between held and verified, declared, relevant to examine, and recommended — with the justification and the missing data named
C	Risks / scenarios / trajectories / schemes matrix	Every risk crossed with the scenario, the trajectory and the instrument it feeds — this is the table that turns an assessment into a questionnaire answer
D	Verbatims and documentary evidence	Exact excerpts with their source and date; model excerpts and demo texts are labelled as such
E	Gap analysis	Requirement by requirement: evidence available, declared but unverified, planned, or open
F	Prioritisation matrix	Effect over cost, with a no-regret bonus, so the order of work is argued rather than asserted
G	Trajectories, targets and indicators	The baseline, the target, the pathway and the indicator that proves it moved
H	Register of sources and assumptions	Every value with where it came from, when, and what was assumed — the annex auditors open first
I	Consolidated action plan	One line per action: budget, owner, date, ISO clause, CDP question, residual risk

Applicability is shown as likely and confirmed with you — it is never asserted for every entity. Obligations are kept apart from voluntary schemes, and no certification is said to reduce a risk: the mapping states what the scheme structures or evidences.

What you get

The same four levels of reading

Everything in the Value Chain scope

Sites, suppliers, products, EUDR, annexes A to I, four deliverable levels.

Competitive positioning

Your score against the panel, category by category and site by site, with the scenario grid applied to everyone on the same basis.

Ratings and commitments benchmark

CDP and EcoVadis scores, SBTi target status, published climate, water and deforestation commitments, with dates and evidence quotes.

Board-level reading

Five slides that say where you stand, what the gap costs, what closing it costs, and the decision asked for. No methodology, no jargon.

What it answers

Everything the Value Chain scope answers, unchanged
CDP — peer comparison and the score level reachable before and after the plan, module by module
EcoVadis — the 14 criteria and the gap to the medal threshold
CSRD / ESRS — competitive context in the double materiality assessment
Investor and lender due diligence questions
Board and executive committee decisions on where the budget goes first

Pricing on request, set with you once the number of sites and materials is known.

How it grafts on

This is a system, not a report. It grafts onto what you already run: the site goes into the insurance programme, the exposure into the business plan, the mitigation into the ISO 14001 improvement programme, the figures into CDP and the ESRS, and the decision into the committee that was going to meet anyway. One assessment, one set of figures, every function reading its own line of it — that is the link it exists to create.

Going further
