Appendix A. External risk
External risk scores for countries and commodities can be assigned and uploaded into Global Trace using this Excel template:

Country risk
TThe first tab in the Excel template enables the Super Administrator to input country risk values. In the example below, risk is defined by averaging the Global Slavery Index ratings with a weighting for each of the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report’s four tiers (Tier 1: 0; Tier 2: 33; Tier 2 Watch List: 66; Tier 3: 100).
The Excel template lists each country and provides a risk rating on a scale of 0 to 100 (0 is low risk, 100 is extreme risk).
| Country | Risk (out of 100) |
|---|---|
| Afghanistan | 95 |
| Albania | 36 |
| Algeria | 72 |
The second tab provides a country / commodity risk rating. Each Category, Indicator, and Sub-indicator must appear in the List of Indicators, enabling the rating data to be combined in the overall supplier risk. In the example below, we use the Sub-indicator field to show the source of the rating. As with ESG assessment reports, the severity is marked on a 3-point scale (1: low, 2: high, 3: extreme)
| Country/ Area | Good | Category | Indicator | Sub-Indicator | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Afghanistan | Bricks | Labor | Forced Labor | Goods produced with forced labor (ILAB List of Goods) | 3 |
| Afghanistan | Bricks | Labor | Child Labor | Goods produced with child labor (ILAB List of Goods) | 3 |
