[Sustainability Risk Assessment (SRA)](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/knowledge-base/sustainability-risk-assessment-sra?hsLang=en) # Creating a Custom Risk Assessment The **Custom Risk Assessment** module allows you to create tailored risk analyses for specific product and country combinations within your supply chain. This helps you proactively identify and mitigate potential **ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risks** based on your actual sourcing volumes. --- #### Creating a New Assessment To create a custom assessment: 1. Click **Create new assessment** ![](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-42-37-3263-AM.png?width=1910&height=571&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-42-37-3263-AM.png) 2. Enter: - **Product name** - **Country of origin** - **Net volume** (in tonnes) 3. Click **Create ![](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-51-04-5971-AM.png?width=1915&height=855&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-51-04-5971-AM.png)** The system will generate a risk overview based on the selected product-country combination. --- #### Viewing the Results Click **View** to open the full assessment. You will see a structured overview displaying: - Risk scores per **product** - Risk scores per **country** - Risk levels per **risk dimension** - Aggregated scores per **risk category** (Environmental, Social, Governance) ![](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-52-32-4902-AM.png?width=1901&height=837&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-52-32-4902-AM.png) This allows you to quickly identify high-risk areas and prioritise follow-up actions. --- #### Adjusting Risk Weightings By default, all risk categories are weighted equally. However, you can adjust the **weighting per risk category** if certain ESG dimensions are more relevant to your organisation. ![](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-53-02-9592-AM.png?width=1901&height=837&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-09-53-02-9592-AM.png) For example: - Increase environmental weighting if water risk is a strategic priority - Increase social weighting for human rights-focused sourcing - Increase governance weighting for politically sensitive regions The overall risk score will automatically recalculate based on your selected weightings. --- #### Why Use Custom Risk Assessments?
