RepRisk and GEC Risk Advisory Release Joint Special Report on Privacy Issues

RepRisk and GEC Risk Advisory are pleased to announce the publication of their Joint Special Report on Privacy Issues.

The report presents case studies from across the world on different types of privacy concerns, together with an analysis of how these issues could affect the companies involved. The aim is to highlight the areas in which an increased use of technology has created new privacy concerns for employers, employees and other stakeholders, and to encourage companies to pay particular attention to privacy issues in their own operations.

The information for the report combines data from RepRisk, the leading data provider of dynamic environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk analysis and metrics, with the practical and interpretive lens of GEC Risk Advisory.

This report is the first of a periodic white paper collaboration between RepRisk AG and GEC Risk Advisory.
