Case Studies

Regional risks exacerbated by water availability and access

Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, World Economic Forum

In Peru’s Cajamarca gold mining region, more than a decade of clashes over water supplies have brought deaths and scores of injuries, forced mine owners to suspend construction of two new mines, and put $US 30 billion in new mine projects in abeyance across Peru. Vector Center uncovered the underlying cause of the conflicts, and correctly predicted future clashes between the local population and the local mining industry.

Better supply chain knowledge allows for safer sourcing

Major Beverage Company

The lack of freshwater in Bangalore, India, led to local farmers using wastewater for their products, which they sold to global secondary producers. Vector Center revealed these previously unknown risks via on the ground research. The contamination exposed the client to potential reputational and regulatory risks, along with possible contamination across their supply chain.

“We are entering an exciting era of accelerated innovation and problem-solving. But to be successful, we need to understand our starting points, understand the connections between issues, and set high expectations for ourselves and our institutions.”
