Achilles partners with ComplyAdvantage to integrate Adverse Media Screening into its risk management platform

Achilles 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. The 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.

Smitha Shetty, Regional Director - APAC at Achilles, commented, " Supply chain resilience depends on a company’s ability to identify and mitigate risks before they escalate. With growing regulatory scrutiny and heightened stakeholder expectations, businesses must proactively monitor their suppliers for potential red flags. By integrating Adverse Media Screening into our platform, we empower our customers with real-time insights into regulatory, financial, and reputational risks. This collaboration with ComplyAdvantage enhances our ability to deliver data-driven intelligence, helping businesses strengthen compliance, protect their operations, and uphold responsible sourcing standards.”
