English term or phrase: location
Hello everyone,

I am not sure how to translate 'location' on the following sentence:

In this way, a specific risk factor scope can be set up for a particular entity, based on the entity characteristics, such as the business line and location(s) in which the entity functions.

I don't think 'emplacement' or 'lieu' or 'site' fit here...

Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

lieu d'affaires
Explanation:
I'm interpreting this in the context of Oracle Financial Services e.g. "Location is pre-populated with US States and Canadian provinces ..."

agree  mchd: il faut aussi lire "business line" et "business location", également lieu de l'activité.

localisation


Explanation:
Il s'agit ici du risque lié à la position géographique du site, son emplacement (la région, le pays) que ce soit à cause de l'environnement (inondations, tremblements de terre, etc.) ou autres (zone de guerre, instable, agitation sociale, etc.)

C'est donc de la localisation dont on parle.

agree  Platary (X): Même lecture. Ce n'est pas très loin de "lieu", mais ce n'est pas la même problématique.

  -> Merci... Oui localisation indique quelque chose que n'indique pas lieu.
