Gaia Metrics for Finance
Many companies have spent years taking advantage of differentials in labor and environmental compliance costs, outsourcing product and component production to cheaper locations. However decisions that may have made sense in the past are now being systematically revisited.
Gaia Metrics is the key to assessing environmental and social risk in your supply chain.
Looking at the moment, into the past and also projecting forward, Gaia Metrics assesses and qualifies the financial risks originating with your suppliers' environmental and social performance. Risks for which you may now be responsible.
Gaia Metrics helps you understand the impact of outsourcing decisions on human capital.
'Cheaper is better' was usually the mantra driving a lot of outsourcing decisions. Yet what are the implications, if for example, R&D and other key talent is hollowed out in the process? With Gaia Metrics, supply chain executives get a far more complete picture upon which to base their decisions.
- Use Gaia Metrics to:
- Monitor the performance of your supply chain
- Decide whether a certain function should be out-sourced or in-sourced
- Adjust financial projections for your own company or for companies being evaluated for acquisition
- Ensure you have identified all relevant risks for disclosure in public filings such as 10ks
- Identify those aspects of your environmental and social performance that carry the greatest financial impact for your company, both in terms of balance sheet-like stocks and income statement-like flows
- Gaia Metrics is inviting a limited number of companies to participate in its upcoming beta of Gaia Metrics for Finance. Please let us know if you're interested in learning more about this program.
