Our social impact

The work we undertake for our business clients is by its very nature aimed at enhancing their ability to manage risks and conduct business in a responsible way.

Maplecroft is also committed to sharing its research and analysis as widely as possible to build awareness of responsible decision making solutions and to educate as many people as possible about human rights, environmental protection and good governance.

• Pro bono supply of issue maps for NGO websites, projects and reports, including: DATA, Africa Progress Panel, Global Fund, RED, etc
• Discounted rates for working with humanitarian organisations (UN OCHA, North Star Alliance, CARE, World Economic Forum etc.) - including indexing, issue mapping, reporting, research and consultancy
