Ownership Mapping for Decision-Grade ESG & Risk Intelligence
Clarity into ownership structures that shape risk and accountability
Ownership structures shape risk, governance and accountability — but they’re often opaque, fragmented or hidden several layers deep.
Legacy maps ownership relationships across companies, brands and supply chains, turning complex structures into clear, decision-ready intelligence for organisations that need to understand who they are really working with, investing in, or funding.
Why ownership matters
Most ESG, risk and procurement decisions assume companies are standalone entities. In reality, they rarely are.
Ownership structures can:
Obscure ultimate control and accountability
Mask exposure to geopolitical, regulatory or reputational risk
Distort ESG performance and benchmarking
Create hidden concentration across suppliers, partners or media investments
Without visibility into ownership, decisions are made in isolation — not in context.
Ownership mapping restores that context.
What Legacy maps
Legacy connects entities, brands and suppliers into a single ownership view, including:
Parent–subsidiary relationships
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Brand-to-entity links
Cross-border ownership structures
Supplier and partner relationships
This allows risk, ESG signals and exposure to be assessed at the right level, not just the surface level.
How ownership mapping supports better decisions
At Legacy, ownership intelligence isn’t a standalone output — it’s a foundational layer used across decisions.

How it works at Legacy
Legacy integrates ownership intelligence directly into its ESG and risk models — not as a separate dataset, but as structural context that informs every score, signal and comparison.
Ownership relationships are continuously maintained and linked to:
ESG ratings and sub-categories
Risk indicators
Supplier and partner ecosystems
Benchmarking and peer analysis
This ensures decisions are made with structural awareness, not assumptions.
Why Legacy is different
Most ESG and risk tools stop at the company name.
Legacy goes deeper.
By combining ownership intelligence, ESG signals and decision-specific views, Legacy helps organisations understand not just what they are assessing — but who sits behind it.
That’s the difference between reporting and decision intelligence.
