GEOPOLITICAL RISK
OUR EXPERTISE
Risk Identification & ANALYSIS
We conduct thorough analyses to uncover potential threats or opportunities, assess their severity and impact, and find cost-effective solutions. We then evaluate the likelihood and impact of identified risks, ranking them by severity to prioritise mitigation efforts.
Risk Management
Once risks are categorised and evaluated, our experts implement strategies to manage and mitigate their impact on the project or organisation.
Monitoring and Reassessment
In the final phase of regular monitoring and reassessment, we implement tools to manage risks proactively and adapt to emerging changes within the project or your organisation before they negatively impact the expected outcome.
Communication Protocols
In addition, our experts in communication and public relations conceive the communication protocols to keep stakeholders informed, and to have a proficient level of preparedness should a crisis occur.

LITIGATION RISK
When facing litigation, the immediate obvious idea is to hire lawyers. However, lawyers heavily rely on concrete evidence, making it imperative to create an environment and gather information based on a strategy adapted to your specific case.
To build an effective strategy, you should ask basic questions to choose required services and document structuring. For instance:
- Are we going to negotiate?
- Should we avoid making the dispute public?
- Do we want to make it known that our company cannot be misled without consequences?
In developing such a strategy, it is critical to compile files and audit reports on any documentation related to the dispute. This approach allows you to identify errors or weaknesses that can be leveraged, uncover potential violations and provide lawyers and prosecutors with as much technical documentation as possible to support legal actions.
On that basis, you can initiate negotiations with the other parties, showing them that they stand to lose more than they may realize. The dispute can be resolved through court confrontation or negotiations, with or without arbitration.
The more information you gather on these various aspects, the better your chances of securing a favorable outcome.

Environmental Risk
OUR EXPERTISE
Comprehensive Risk Mapping
Understanding the impact of environmental and climate threats on operations and value chains is crucial. By mapping vulnerabilities from resource extraction to retail, companies can identify weak links and high-risk zones.
Probability and Severity of Impact
Analysing the likelihood and potential severity of scenarios like floods, droughts, or energy shortages helps companies assess risk exposure. This enables prioritization of mitigation efforts, such as investing in resilient infrastructure or diversifying supply chains.
Preventive & Adaptive Measures
Developing a risk reduction and resilience strategy is essential. This includes adopting sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact and implementing adaptation strategies like relocating vulnerable operations or sourcing from climate-resilient regions.
Collaboration Plans
Collaborating with suppliers, local communities, and governments to enhance regional resilience can strengthen value chains and ensure long-term stability.
Resilience Strategy
A robust resilience strategy not only protects operations and supply chains but also enhances reputation, regulatory compliance, and competitive advantage in a climate-sensitive market.
- Minimise exposure, reduce vulnerability to climate change
- Country assessments of climate recovery capacity
- Assessment of climate and disaster risks and vulnerabilities
- Build resilience to the impacts of natural hazards
- Gender and disability mainstreaming
