Ethics review in risk-based decision-making

Ethics review in risk-based decision-making is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.

Broadly

Ethics review ensures that risk-related decisions respect principles of justice, autonomy, and harm minimization. It is especially relevant where actions may disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, involve uncertain outcomes, or require public trust. Ethics review can take the form of advisory panels, checklists, or embedded processes.

More specifically

RSI integrates ethics review into risk management design and evaluation, helping clients identify ethical dimensions, clarify values, and justify trade-offs. The firm collaborates with ethicists, legal experts, and communities to embed these perspectives in policy development. RSI’s structured, respectful approach enhances fairness and legitimacy.
