Geopolitical exposure runs deeper than most organisations realise.

ESI delivers the strategy that protects your business.

Who we are

ESI is a geopolitical risk consultancy working with directors and business unit heads at large organisations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Most organisations know they have geopolitical exposure. Few understand how deep it runs. We map their true exposure, explain the forces driving it, and build a practical response. That means a rigorous assessment of where and how they are vulnerable, a clear picture of the dynamics shaping their operating environment, and concrete steps to reduce risk before the next disruption hits.

Every engagement is built around a client's specific situation, worked on by senior analysts and a wide network of subject matter experts across every sector we cover, and delivered at the pace the situation demands.

    Scenario Planning

    Geopolitical events rarely arrive without warning. We work with clients to map the scenarios most likely to affect their business, stress-test their assumptions, and build contingency plans that hold up under real conditions.

    Direct access to senior analysts who understand your region and sector. We work with you at pace to address emerging risks, interpret fast-moving developments, and help you make the right call at the right time.

    Market Entry Strategy

    Expanding into a new market carries risks that standard due diligence rarely captures. We assess the political, regulatory, and security landscape at sub-national level, so your entry strategy is built on ground truth rather than surface analysis.

    Bespoke Intelligence

    Every organisation's exposure to geopolitical risk is different. We build intelligence products around your specific situation, your regions of interest, and the sectors that matter to your business, so you are never working from generic analysis when the stakes are high.

Geopolitical Intelligence for Confident Decision-Making

What We Have Delivered

  • ESI provided monthly strategic advisory sessions to a senior executive at a leading insurance firm, offering tailored insights on key risks and regulatory shifts. We analysed the potential impact of upcoming elections on policy changes and identified disruptions, such as strikes at a major mining operation, that could affect business interruptions, liability, and credit risk. Our insights allowed the client to proactively adjust their risk assessments, pricing models, and reinsurance strategies, ensuring they stayed ahead in a volatile environment.

  • ESI provided operational security advice to an international shipping company facing escalating threats in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. After assessing piracy risks, regional instability, and potential conflict escalation, we developed a cost-benefit analysis of alternative routes, factoring in fuel costs and delays. Our strategic recommendations, including adjusted shipping schedules, new security partnerships, and real-time intelligence tools, helped the client maintain safe operations while minimising disruptions and costs.

  • ESI helped a manufacturing company expand operations into a rapidly growing Asian market by conducting risk assessments on political stability, infrastructure, and workforce availability. Our analysis identified optimal locations for new production facilities, balancing efficiency with long-term strategy. We also assessed potential local suppliers and manufacturers, as well as the regulatory environment, uncovering opportunities for cost savings and operational synergies.
