Climate Risk Assessment & Reporting
Welcome to the Climate Risk Assessment & Reporting Program, a comprehensive solution designed to help organizations identify, evaluate, and manage climate-related risks. As climate change continues to accelerate, understanding and mitigating the risks it poses to your organization is essential for maintaining resilience, complying with regulations, and achieving long-term sustainability goals.
Our program provides the tools, expertise, and strategic insights needed to integrate climate risk assessment into your business strategy and operations, enabling you to proactively manage climate-related risks and opportunities.
What is Climate Risk Assessment?
Climate risk assessment is the process of evaluating potential physical, transition, and liability risks that an organization may face due to climate change. These risks can impact an organization’s operations, supply chain, reputation, and financial performance. Understanding these risks helps businesses build resilience, make informed decisions, and take the necessary actions to mitigate the impact of climate change.
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework and ISO 14090 offer global standards for assessing and reporting climate risks, focusing on physical risks (acute and chronic) and transition risks (policy, technology, and market-related).

Why Implement a Climate Risk Assessment & Reporting Program?
- Regulatory Compliance:
With increasing climate regulations globally, including mandatory disclosures by financial regulators (e.g., SEC), businesses need to assess and report climate-related risks to comply with both local and international standards. - Resilience Planning:
Identifying and mitigating climate risks enables organizations to better prepare for extreme weather events, disruptions to supply chains, and shifting market conditions, ensuring long-term resilience. - Investor Confidence:
Investors are increasingly factoring climate risks into their decisions. Transparent climate risk assessments and disclosures improve credibility and attract climate-conscious investments. - Competitive Advantage:
Proactively addressing climate risks demonstrates corporate responsibility and enhances your brand reputation, fostering stronger relationships with customers, investors, and stakeholders. - Cost Savings:
By identifying vulnerabilities early, organizations can avoid costs associated with disaster recovery, regulatory penalties, and missed opportunities for climate-related investments.
Key Features of the Climate Risk Assessment & Reporting Program
Climate Risk Identification and Scoping
We begin by assessing your organization’s climate exposure across all levels, identifying both physical (acute and chronic) and transition risks (related to policy, market, and technology shifts). This includes understanding how climate change might impact your facilities, supply chains, markets, and operations.
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- Detailed risk identification report.
- Scope of analysis, including physical and transition risks.
- Stakeholder engagement to understand local and regional climate impacts.
-
Physical Risk Assessment (Acute & Chronic)
We assess acute physical risks (e.g., extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, heatwaves) and chronic physical risks (e.g., sea-level rise, long-term droughts) that may impact your organization’s operations, infrastructure, and supply chains.
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- Scenario-based analysis of physical risks under different climate change scenarios (e.g., 1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C pathways).
- Evaluation of how physical risks could impact assets, supply chains, and operational continuity.
- Recommended actions for physical risk mitigation (e.g., infrastructure adaptation, site relocation).
-
Transition Risk Assessment (Policy, Technology, Market)
Transition risks arise from shifts in policy, market dynamics, and technological advancements as the world moves towards a low-carbon economy. We assess risks associated with regulatory changes, technological disruptions, and market shifts (e.g., demand for low-carbon products, energy transition).
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- Analysis of policy risks (e.g., carbon taxes, emissions regulations).
- Evaluation of market and technology shifts (e.g., renewable energy adoption, changes in consumer behavior).
- Recommendations for transition risk management (e.g., transitioning to renewable energy, adopting low-carbon technologies).
-
Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy
We help you develop a climate resilience strategy that includes short-term and long-term actions to adapt to identified risks. This includes physical adaptations (e.g., infrastructure upgrades, water conservation) and process adaptations (e.g., supply chain diversification, employee training).
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- Climate resilience strategy with actionable recommendations.
- Adaptation plans for specific risks (e.g., flood-resistant infrastructure, sustainable water management).
- Integration of climate risk adaptation into overall business strategy.
-
Carbon Footprint and Emissions Scenarios
We assess how climate risks could influence your carbon emissions and work with your organization to develop strategies for reducing GHG emissions in line with science-based targets (SBTs).
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- Emissions scenarios under different climate pathways.
- Carbon reduction strategies aligned with SBTi.
- Carbon offsetting and removal strategies for residual emissions.
-
Reporting and Compliance (TCFD, ISO 14090, etc.)
Our program ensures that your climate risk findings are properly documented and reported. We assist in developing comprehensive climate risk disclosures that comply with frameworks like TCFD, ISO 14090, and CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project).
Key Deliverables:
-
-
- TCFD-aligned climate risk report.
- GHG emissions reporting for climate risks and opportunities.
- Disclosure documents for regulatory reporting and stakeholder communication.
