RiskHorizon™ – Assessing ESG risks
ESG Screening Assessments
RiskHorizon™ is a purpose-made ESG software tool, designed by Anthesis and created to help deal teams and investors to understand a target’s exposure to ESG risks and opportunities. Fast and efficient, it offers comprehensive ESG scoping and risk screening capability to identify “ESG hotspots” earlier in the due diligence process. A concise executive summary details area for further consideration. The cloud-based platform screens millions of data points across 30 global risks (economic, environmental, technical, social and geo-political), 79 industries and 196 countries.
Outputs from RiskHorizon™ are displayed in a dashboard, which allows the client to:
- Identify ESG risks/opportunities with the potential to impact the target’s fixed assets, supply chain and/or business model.
- Reduce transaction costs and time by early identification of potential red flag issues.
- Demonstrate advances within your ESG Program.
- Identify potential cost savings and performance improvement opportunities earlier in the process.
Anthesis can then help with deeper analysis to develop an organization’s ESG KPIs, the feasibility and business cases for improvement measures and/or plan for risk management measures post-acquisition.
