Offshoring impact: evaluating ESG in supply chains
Barney Bruce-Smythe, Senior Associate (London)
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
ESG helps account for risks not always traditionally quantified, such as natural or human capital – which are now popular dataset types across our client base. These risks permeate through supply chains and have financial, legal and reputational risks. Some estimates indicate that climate, deforestation and water impacts along corporate supply chains could cost $1.26tn from 2020-2025.
