Maplecroft designed the Global Risks Index to enable organisations to:

• Identify specific areas of high risk across supply chains and operations
• Manage and mitigate risk effectively
• Improve business performance
• Enhance strategic investment and corporate social responsibility planning

The GRI is presented on-line, in country by country scorecards and maps. Each country scorecard provides a summary of key demographic, economic and political information, a global and regional map, as well as scores for each of the 26 indices and the seven aggregate clusters.

More substantive country details are available through Maplecroft’s country briefings 8+pp or reports 25+pp.
