Every whitebox starts with the people affected: their account is the first layer, and every other source is checked against it.
  • Social media

    There is the community next door and there is the worldwide community online. The voice of public sentiment is increasingly digitised. The digital ecosystem is where social risks and opportunities for positive impact can be identified as well as acted upon.

  • Labour management

    Strong internal relations are paramount to the resilience and operational integrity of any business. Having a sensitive ear to the issues, identifying risks before they materialise and identifying opportunities for positive impact are at the centre of strong relations.

  • Health and safety

    The health and safety of employees and the greater community is critical in both the short and long term. Both major events and passive conditions affect the strength and integrity of any organisation. The right framework, monitoring and controls are crucial to ensuring health and safety against old and new threats.

  • Corporate social responsibility

    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an opportunity to strengthen relations with the community, build trust and make partners out of stakeholders. However, ad-hoc projects can fail to deliver the intended impact. Identifying the right opportunities for positive impact and employing an effective CSR strategy that aligns with the core mission is key.
