Case Study: a GCC sovereign wealth fund achieves clearer ESG risk visibility with dss+

Portfolio-level ESG risk assessments for a leading GCC investment holding company

a GCC sovereign wealth fund needed a clearer and comparable view of its ESG exposure across six capital-intensive investment sectors. dss+ was engaged to conduct portfolio-level ESG risk assessments using the client's own Enterprise Risk Management methodology.

dss+ assessed over 10 portfolio companies, identifying sector-specific material ESG risks and prioritizing them using likelihood and impact scoring. This process resulted in over 30 high-risk ratings and the development of more than 100 sequenced recommendations. The solution provided the client's leadership with a detailed, ERM-aligned view of risk exposure, giving them the clarity and confidence to prioritize mitigation and escalation actions where risks were most material.
