Overview

Commissioned by the UK Government's FCDO, we developed Landscope, a geospatial analytics software to evaluate conflict risks across emerging markets using 14 significant indicators. Similarly, we were tasked by International Rivers to create Riverscope, a tool for assessing risk in the hydropower sector, analyzing 281 dams for ESG risks.

Key results

• Landscope

  Now utilized by hundreds of companies and investors for improved risk assessment, due diligence, and supply chain management. It's integrated with Bloomberg Terminal and endorsed by leading firms like Unilever and Schroders. According to Unilever’s 2021 Human Rights Report, Landscope has revolutionized risk understanding and management in operational planning.

• Riverscope

  Tailored for the hydropower industry, it combines geospatial analysis with financial risk indicators to enhance project execution.

Lessons learned

Quantifying social risks is critical for companies to manage operations effectively. Many companies struggle with prioritizing and addressing these risks due to reliance on costly and often inefficient international consultants. This challenge has highlighted the importance of empowering local organizations to offer relevant social and environmental services.
