11. Assess Value Chain Financial Risks
What is this step?
Use the EXO.G Risk Management area to quantify the financial impact of each value chain IRO, prioritize mitigation, and keep auditors/investors confident that risks are under control.
How you do it
- Go to Risk Management → IROs and filter by Value chain segment (upstream, own operations, downstream).
- Open each high-impact IRO and:
- Rate Likelihood and Magnitude (1–5) plus Time horizon.
- Review the auto-calculated Risk score and heatmap placement.
- Link affected stakeholders, policies, and PAT actions.
- Switch to the Policies and Targets tab and add or update action plans (owner, due date, budget, KPIs).
- Generate a masterplan from insights if you need AI to summarize mitigation steps.
- Track status (To do → In progress → Completed) so you can prove risk follow-up during assurance.
Why it matters
- Shows exactly how ESG factors translate into financial exposure along the value chain.
- Keeps mitigation aligned with PAT, so risks and actions stay in sync.
- Provides ready-to-use evidence for CSRD/TCFD risk disclosure sections.
Main outputs
- Updated risk register with scores, heatmap positions, and mitigation status for every material value chain IRO.
- Masterplan or action plan exports you can attach to board packs, investor decks, or audits.
