                      management and issues management programmes in place.




        50-75         Company which fall into this rating are less likely to be subject to crises.





        25-50         Risk of becoming an issue is much lower here.  It looks harmless, it looks
                      safe but, given the right circumstances, it can explode.




         20-25         Only the purest of the pure of the environmental groups can achieve
                       this score
