The new solution will help businesses identify regulatory, reputational, and financial risks from their suppliers, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
ABINGDON, UK, MARCH 2025 – Achilles, a global leader in supply chain and performance management, has joined forces with ComplyAdvantage, a leading provider of AI-driven risk detection, to integrate Adverse Media Screening into its global supply chain risk management platform. This new solution empowers businesses to identify regulatory, reputational, and financial risks associated with their suppliers, enabling more informed decision-making.
Associating with suppliers that have negative media coverage can damage a company’s reputation, lead to financial losses and invite legal scrutiny. To mitigate these risks, Achilles has introduced Adverse Media Screening into its risk management platform. This enhancement allows organisations to identify suppliers involved in unethical practices, safeguard their brand, and maintain trust with customers and stakeholders.
Achilles’ new Adverse Media tool provides an additional layer of risk detection by screening over 2 million articles per day from verified sources. It identifies negative news about global suppliers, including regulatory issues, reputational risks, and financial concerns.
With coverage in seven languages – Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Dutch and English – the tool analyses a broad range of sources, including major news outlets, industry blogs, local newspapers, and government websites. By monitoring and translating global content, Achilles delivers comprehensive insights into potential risks from diverse sources.
“In a world where negative news spreads faster than ever, businesses must take a proactive approach to risk management. Achilles Adverse Media Screening solution enables organisations to stay ahead of potential threats by identifying risks early, across multiple languages and sources. By partnering with ComplyAdvantage, we bring together world leading AI technology and industry expertise to offer businesses a scalable and effective way to protect their supply chains.” said Mark Chamberlain, Chief Product Officer at Achilles.
Achilles Adverse Media Screening is available to Achilles buying customers via the Achilles platform. Organisations interested in exploring the new solution can request a demo here.
