Climate Risk Analysis

What is a Climate Risk Analysis?

The Climate Risk Analysis helps small and medium-sized enterprises to understand future climate-related risks, derive adaptation measures and strengthen their resilience.

Larger corporations and industrial players with operations in climate-sensitive areas also benefit from this scalable solution, which supports climate preparedness and adaptation across diverse operations and supply chains.

How do businesses benefit?

Key advantages include:

  • Early identification of climate risks and tailored risk profiles highlight vulnerabilities and potential damages.
  • Customized protection measures for operations infrastructure and supply chains increase resilience.
  • Transparent data supports internal decision-making and external communication.
  • Clear planning guidance strengthens competitiveness and demonstrates responsible, long-term commitment.
  • Ongoing advisory support ensures sustained resilience and competitiveness.

Climate risk and vulnerability analysis

Increasingly intense flood events pose a significant economic threat to businesses located near rivers. Relying solely on public flood protection is not enough – companies must also take their own precautions against flooding and heavy rainfall to prevent revenue losses and business disruptions. As an initial cost-effective step, mobile flood barriers can be installed at critical access points and a flood protection plan can be developed. The financial savings from avoiding business interruptions can then be reinvested in further measures, such as adjusting the site’s gradient. This helps reduce material and revenue losses while indirectly supporting the company’s resource conservation efforts.
