RepRisk releases the Most Controversial Companies 2016 Report
Annual report highlights ESG issues faced by globally active companies that led to reputational, compliance, and financial risks
RepRisk, the worldwide leader in the analysis, monitoring, and quantification of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, has released the seventh edition of its Most Controversial Companies (MCC 2016) Report, which focuses on the companies that were most exposed to ESG risks in 2016.
RepRisk’s MCC 2016 Report spotlights ESG issues faced by globally-active companies, and was developed as part of RepRisk’s commitment to providing transparency into ESG risks and encouraging companies to systematically take into account such risks in their strategies and processes.
The data for the report is based on information screened, analyzed, and quantified by RepRisk’s proprietary research process from a wide range of publicly available stakeholder and media sources.
“Eight of the companies ranked in the report faced governance-related issues involving corruption and fraud,” states Philipp Aeby, CEO of RepRisk. “Only two were linked to environmental and social controversies.”
The companies included in the report are headquartered in countries around the world, including Brazil, China, Monaco, Korea, Germany, and the US, and span various sectors including financial services, mining, chemicals, food & beverage, and automobiles.
