RepRisk releases the Most Controversial Projects 2016 ReportRepRisk, the leading provider of dynamic business intelligence on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, has released the fourth edition of its Most Controversial Projects (MCP) of 2016 Report, which focuses on the projects - including mines, hydroelectric power plants, oil and gas facilities, and factories - that were most exposed to ESG risks in 2016. Out of the ten projects ranked in the MCP 2016 Report, six were affected by deadly accidents, which posed reputational, compliance, and financial risks for the companies concerned. A further two projects, located in the Americas, are strongly opposed by indigenous communities, who are concerned about the impact of the project on their daily lives. The report has been compiled using RepRisk's dynamic ESG risk analytics and metrics, and is based on information that is screened, analyzed, and quantified on a daily basis from a wide range of publicly available media, stakeholder, and other third-party sources.
