Managing the Risk Involved in Healthcare Waste Management The Healthcare sector produces significant waste, and 15% of this waste is hazardous material that could be infectious, toxic, or radioactive. Despite international and national agency frameworks and regulations to drive proper medical waste management, not all this waste is disposed of responsibly. Poor waste management in the healthcare sector poses several health risks, including infections and water pollution, and can expose a healthcare company to legal or reputational risks. Assessing a company’s waste management practices is crucial for investors to gauge adherence to global waste management regulations, which reduces potential legal and/or reputational risks. The ISS ESG Corporate Rating solution provides valuable insights for investors, enabling them to assess the effectiveness of waste management governance within healthcare organizations and make informed investment decisions with sustainability objectives.

Measuring Cyber Security Risks: The ISS Cyber Risk Score Cyber security incidents can have a devastating impact on a business. The negative effects of these incidents vary from breaches involving sensitive client information that lead to identity theft, to the illicit sale of intellectual property for corporate espionage purposes, to operational disruptions following systems falling prey to ransomware. Failure to be properly prepared for these risks can result in a company’s brand equity and market value being severely impaired, resulting in regulatory fines and civil penalties and in extreme cases leading to corporate failure. Understanding and measuring cyber security risks is critical to the risk management process. Having the tools to benchmark a company’s cyber security processes can help to identify those implementing best practices and those falling short of these benchmarks. The ISS Cyber Risk Score is such a tool.
