What we do

Technological solutions

Increasingly, organisations recognise the impact that social, environmental and political issues have on strategic decision making, business continuity and reputation. They are also conscious of the significant financial benefits that can be achieved through good monitoring of such risks and the seizing of relevant opportunities.

Maplecroft’s meticulous multidisciplinary research, coupled with our expertise in software and design technology, enables us to deliver unrivalled risk intelligence and corporate responsibility solutions across 10 key areas:

• Governance and business environment
• Integrity and corruption
• Geopolitics and emerging powers
• Terrorism and conflict
• Resource security
• Macroeconomics and development
• Human rights and labour standards
• Infectious diseases and public health
• Climate change and environment
• Natural hazards

Interactive risk intelligence

We utilise GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping technology to offer additional insight and enable the assessment of risk and trends at global, national, city, factory or pipeline level. We offer over 160 interactive issue maps which draw on 500+ risk indices and indicators. Interactive maps enable users to extract risk values for specific locations, explore the inter-relationships between different risks and see the implications for areas of operations. Maplecroft’s custom mapping service is used by organisations to communicate complex risks to internal and external stakeholders and can include overlays of company assets to identify risks across entire value chains.

Our interactive capabilities also feature a suite of custom risk tools developed to rate and index corporate risk exposure, risk management proficiency and innovation strategy. This includes our most recent innovation, the Risk Calculator, which builds instant risk profiles for over 200 countries from more than 160 risk indices. Advanced custom versions that can overlay multiple layers of company and supplier risk management information have been developed for several clients.
