Corporate Climate Strategy & Scenario Analysis

  • Evaluates business strategies against future climate scenarios, including policy shifts and carbon pricing.
  • Develops strategic, organisation-wide roadmaps for climate resilience and regulatory alignment.

Climate Resilience Assessments: Four Critical Dimensions

  • Physical Risk: Exposure to up to 28 chronic and acute climate hazards, including sea-level rise, flooding, extreme heat, wildfires, and wind.
  • Transition Risk: Regulatory, market, policy, reputational, and technological changes arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
  • Social Implications: Impacts on health, safety and community cohesion for users and surrounding communities.
  • Financial Implications: Implications for asset value, revenue, insurance coverage, and long-term operational viability.

Your Outcomes

  • Anticipate climate impacts, safeguard asset value, and maintain long-term financial performance in the face of growing environmental pressures.
  • Reduced insurance premiums, as insurers increasingly favour assets with robust climate risk strategies in place.
  • Ensure assets meet current and emerging compliance requirements, enhancing transparency and reducing regulatory risks.
