FAQ's
What is climate risk and how is it different from other risks?
Climate risk includes long-term, systemic disruptions caused by climate change, which differ from typical business risks in both scale, horizon and level of uncertainty.
What’s the difference between physical and transition risks?
Physical risks relate to climate-related weather events and trends, while transition risks arise from changes in policies, markets, and technologies.
How do we assess location-specific climate risks?
We use regional hazard data, exposure scenarios and sector-specific analysis to evaluate risks across your assets.
Are disclosures like TCFD (IFRS 2) mandatory?
Yes, under several jurisdictions including CSRD, TCFD-aligned reporting is becoming mandatory for listed and large companies.
How do we use these findings in your climate strategy?
We link risks to governance, capital planning, and resilience measures, embedding climate into core decision-making.
