People Risk arises when an organization's people-related decisions, systems, behaviours, and environments do not meet societal expectations, regulatory requirements, or strategic objectives-potentially resulting in harm to individuals, financial or reputational impact, regulatory exposure, or loss of trust.

• Social impact measurement and reporting
