Your Social dashboard
See your Social risk rated and ranked by supplier
Your Social dashboard compares your performance to your peers, shows your tracked cases by issue and ranks your suppliers by the mills those cases link to.
Dashboards are not public. They are only visible to subscribers.
The problem
Social risks are the hardest to see and the most damaging to miss
Cannot be seen from satellite. Labor and land conflict leave no signal a satellite can detect, so most monitoring tools don't see it.
Evidence lies in reports nobody has joined up. Grievances, NGO investigations and local reporting cover the same incident separately.
The first warning is usually public. By the time a customer asks you to comment, the initiative is lost.
The solution
Social Risk Ratings give you visibility of hidden supply chain risks
Supplier Ratings
Suppliers rated and ranked each month on human rights findings, labor conflict, land and indigenous rights disputes, and legality.

How it works
Social Risk Ratings are built from our peerless, proprietary grievance and media database
Track grievances and reports
Grievances in our global grievance database, news reporting and NGO investigations are grouped by responsible company, location and issue.
- Grievance filedgrievance
- NGO investigationNGO
- Local news reportmedia
Join them into cases
Reports covering the same incident are attached to a single case, so the evidence that sits in separate places is read together.
- Human rights
- Land rights
- Legality
- Pollution
Rate severity by issue
Cases are tagged by issue and rated for severity and for related topics: EUDR, NDPE/DCF and Nature. In scope today: labor and human rights, land and indigenous rights, legality and pollution.
Roll up and rank against peers
The severity and number of cases linked to your supply chain roll up to facilities and companies through published mill lists, and each company is ranked against comparable peers.
No published mill list? You can securely upload a private mill list to see Social ratings for your supply chain, suppliers, mills and facilities, and identify cases for engagement. Your rating is only visible to you and your team. It does not affect subscriber-facing ratings.
Benefits
What changes for you
Find out before your customer does. Most social risk becomes visible when it is published, and a tracked case gives you the time in between.
Prioritize by severity. Not every grievance needs a supplier engagement, and the rating tells you which do.
You can show a buyer how you handled it. Download the case as a PDF and share it with your customer.
Monthly notifications. You receive a monthly email with the latest Social rating and case updates. Major changes or urgent issues are flagged.
