                                 operating in these locations, including through providing verified
                                 information and advice on how such risks will affect their workforce
                                 or by supporting evacuations where needed.”


                                 Due to new and evolving conflicts, some of the most notable risk
                                 rating increases this year have been parts of Lebanon, Palestinian
                                 Territories, Russia and across the Sahel. Ecuador and parts of
                                 Colombia have also increased following a consistent rise in
                                 criminality and unrest.

                                 In some regions, the risk rating has decreased. Most notably, the
                                 risk ratings for El Salvador and parts of Nepal have reduced
                                 following sustained downward trends across a number of risk
                                 factors.

                                 The Risk Map is an important risk management tool, which
                                 assesses medical, security and climate change risks on a five-level
                                 scale – from ‘Low’ to ‘Very High’ for the medical and climate
                                 change layers, and ‘Insignificant’ to ‘Extreme’ for the security
                                 layer[i]. The layers of the map use a combination of internal and
                                 external data which International SOS’ expert team analyses.
