Social Risk Assessment identifies exposure to labor disputes, human rights violations, community opposition, diversity issues, and workforce safety concerns that can affect operations, reputation, and license-to-operate. Assessment methodologies include stakeholder engagement, human rights due diligence, labor audits, and community impact studies. Organizations integrate social risk into investment decisions, supplier selection, and site development. A mining company conducted social risk assessment before expanding operations, identifying potential conflict with indigenous land rights and water access concerns, leading to a benefit-sharing agreement, employment commitments, and water management protocols that secured community support and avoided costly project delays.
