Environmental risk and supply chains
Green crime risk
Manage and mitigate your exposure to green crime risk with our industry-leading screening technology, supply chain risk tools, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) data.
Green crime – wildlife and environmental crime – is estimated to be worth up to $258 billion a year and is one of the top five most lucrative illicit activities after illegal drugs, human and weapons trafficking.
The increased focus of global regulatory bodies on wildlife and environmental crime should be a concern for local compliance departments. The consequences of green crime are far-reaching and are gaining the attention of law enforcement agencies and regulators.
What is green crime?
Green crime involves illegal activity that not only directly harms the environment but threatens wildlife, impacts business supply chains, and poses a threat to security and stability around the world. In addition to environmental crime and wildlife trafficking, green crime also includes the contravention of regulations designed to prevent harm to the environment. The COVID-19 pandemic was a watershed moment; shining the spotlight on the global wildlife trade as a breeding ground for disease and resulting in viruses spreading to humans.
