What if your biggest operational threat had already made headlines — just not in a language your team monitors?

That’s exactly what happened to a copper mining company operating in Brazil. Without warning, local protests escalated and forced a complete shutdown of operations.

The problem? It wasn’t a surprise to the locals. For two weeks, regional Portuguese-language media had been reporting on rising tensions. But none of that intelligence made it to the company’s decision-makers.

They didn’t fail to act because they didn’t care. They failed to act because they didn’t know.

At ET, we believe critical insights aren’t always found in mainstream headlines. They’re buried in local news, niche sources, and non-English media — until it's too late.

That’s why we monitor global, multilingual, and under-the-radar sources in real time. So you can surface early signals, spot risks before they escalate, and make informed decisions when it matters most.
