Industries where Riskop has experience in Mexico

Our documented experience is not the same everywhere: it is thinner in energy and in the public sector, and those pages say so.

1. Mining and metals

   Who has a say in the operation, the social impact of an expansion, and media coverage.

   Some of the problems we handle in mining and metals

   • Telling coverage aimed at the company apart from noise about mining in general
   • An expansion that requires sorting out impacts with nearby communities before negotiating
   • Knowing who decides when federal, state, municipal and agrarian authorities are all involved

2. Industry and manufacturing

   Cement, steel, metals and industrial parks; neighbor perception, local impact and emergencies.

   Some of the problems we handle in industry and manufacturing

   • The plant takes the blame for the whole city’s air pollution
   • Pollution becomes a campaign issue in an election year
   • Showing with data what the plant adds to its neighbors’ economy

3. Food and beverage

   Bottlers, brewers and produce exporters; water, social license and new facilities.

   Some of the problems we handle in food and beverage

   • Neighbors start blaming the plant for water shortages
   • Expanding, converting or building a plant without losing the social license
   • Community programs the neighbors have never heard of

4. Retail and consumer goods

   Supermarkets and convenience stores; in-store incidents, contested openings and local listening.

   Some of the problems we handle in retail and consumer goods

   • Incident response depends on who happens to be on shift
   • Store managers who do not know when or to whom to escalate
   • A store opening or a landmark project that turns political

5. Strategic infrastructure and energy

   Communities, stakeholders and access roads around an energy or infrastructure project.

   Some of the problems we handle in strategic infrastructure and energy

   • A project that needs community acceptance before construction
   • Knowing who could stop or delay the project
   • Blockades and protests on the access roads to the site

6. Public sector and urban development

   Universities and governments; how the neighborhoods around an urban program change over time.

   Some of the problems we handle in public sector and urban development

   • Measuring how an area changes over the years with a comparable design
   • Producing independent evidence together with local academic institutions
   • Hearing from residents before taking a program to another neighborhood
