Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is reputation risk and why does it matter?
Reputation risk is the potential harm to an organization’s credibility and trust among stakeholders. It occurs when there’s a gap between stakeholder expectations and perceived reality. Loss of trust can lead to regulatory investigations, revenue decline, and talent attrition. In today’s globalized market, reputation is a license to operate—once broken, recovery is costly and slow.

Shifts in expectations on critical topics (e.g., DEI, geopolitical issues).
-
Influence patterns as stakeholder groups amplify narratives.
-
Industry and peer benchmarks to detect changing norms. By analyzing these metrics over time, organizations can quantify risk posture and act before issues escalate.
