For more than 40 years, Control Risks’ investigative teams, specialist researchers, and subject matter experts have provided a range of due diligence services to support clients in reaching their strategic, operational and compliance goals. We help you identify ESG vulnerabilities and opportunities in your investments, projects and supply chains – ranging from environmental issues to human rights, and from cyber risks to community relations. We plan for remediation and capacity building, protecting your reputation and safeguarding your licence to operate wherever your business takes you.
Experts in third party ESG screening and transactional due diligence
We have experts around the world who know the local environments where our clients work, and who understand the nuances and risks around ESG factors.
