Executive Summary

Reputational risk vectors have multiplied in the last 10 years, with the advent of social media, ESG concerns and increased regulatory pressure. Firms are now beholden to codes of conduct – covering both themselves and their supply chains – greatly expanding the areas in which they could be held accountable. Given the speed and complexity of both public and private responses, understanding and monitoring a firm’s wider reputation can aid an organization in navigating potential and actualized risks. These risks might stem from cyber-attacks, fraud or from traditional incidents, but in all cases, maintaining an understanding of how these factors can proliferate can assist firms in traversing today’s risk landscape.
