Climate risk analysis for your operations and value chain

Identify the climate risks affecting your operations and value chain to anticipate regulatory, financial and operational impacts.

Learn more about climate risks

Anticipate climate risks before they impact your business.

Climate change already affects businesses through physical disruptions, regulatory developments and shifting market expectations. Climate risk analysis helps organisations identify their vulnerabilities, anticipate impacts and integrate climate issues into their strategic decision-making. By analysing both physical risks and transition risks, businesses can protect their operations, strengthen resilience and align with CSRD and VSME climate disclosure expectations.

What is a climate risk analysis?

Climate risk analysis assesses how climate change may impact a company's operations, assets and value chain.

A climate risk analysis typically includes:

  • Identification of physical climate risks (flooding, heatwaves, water stress)
  • Identification of transition risks (regulation, technology, market shifts)
  • Assessment of impacts on operations, infrastructure and supply chains
  • Evaluation of financial and strategic exposure
  • Preparation for climate-related disclosures

This analysis provides a structured foundation for your climate strategy and resilience planning.

Is your company concerned?

You may be concerned if:

You need to assess climate risks affecting your operations or assets

Your investors or banks are requesting visibility on your climate risks

Your supply chain or infrastructure is exposed to climate events

Your sector faces growing climate regulation or market pressure

You want to integrate climate risks into your strategic planning

Climate risks are becoming business risks. Understanding them early allows companies to anticipate rather than react.

Our structured approach

Phase 1: Mapping operations and the value chain

We begin with:

  • Identification of key activities and value creation drivers
  • Mapping of operational sites and strategic assets
  • Identification of critical suppliers and dependencies

Objective: identify where climate risks could impact the business.

Phase 2: Identification of climate risks

We then proceed with:

  • Identification of relevant physical and transition risks
  • Use of reference climate scenarios such as IPCC scenarios
  • Pre-selection of material risks affecting the business

Objective: detect the most relevant climate risks for your operations.

Phase 3: Risk prioritisation workshop

We organise:

  • Collaborative workshops with internal teams
  • Assessment of likelihood and potential impact
  • Identification of priority climate risks

Objective: prioritise climate risks that require strategic attention.

Phase 4: Climate risk dashboard and summary

Finally, we deliver:

  • Structured dashboard of material climate risks
  • Exposure mapping by activity and location
  • Strategic summary to support decision-making

Objective: provide a clear picture to support your strategic decisions.

Frequently asked questions

A climate risk analysis assesses how climate change may affect a company's operations, assets and value chain. It identifies both physical risks such as extreme weather events and transition risks linked to regulation and market shifts. The analysis helps companies anticipate impacts and integrate climate into their strategy.

Physical climate risks refer to the direct impacts of climate change on infrastructure and operations. Examples include flooding, storms, droughts, heatwaves and water scarcity. These risks can disrupt production, damage assets and affect supply chains.

Transition risks arise from the economic shift towards a low-carbon economy. They include regulatory changes, carbon pricing, technological disruption and shifts in customer expectations. Companies with high emissions or carbon-intensive activities may face increased costs or market pressure.

Yes, climate risk analysis is closely linked to CSRD and ESRS E1 climate disclosures. Companies must identify climate risks and opportunities and explain their impact on strategy and financial planning. Conducting a structured climate risk analysis helps meet this requirement.

Climate risk analysis often draws on IPCC climate scenarios to understand possible future impacts. These scenarios describe different warming trajectories such as +1.5 °C, +2 °C or higher temperature increases. They help companies assess how risks evolve under different climate futures.

A climate risk analysis typically takes four to eight weeks depending on the size of the company and data availability. The process includes operations mapping, risk analysis and internal workshops to prioritise impacts.
