Introduction
Firms face a new set of risks triggered by climate change predictions, regulatory responses, market reactions and resource scarcity challenges. But the identification and mitigation of climate change and sustainability risks is far from most directors’ minds. This Smart Vendors reports helps risk officers and finance directors get to grips with climate change and sustainability risk management by assessing the services provided by ten leading risk management firms. Based on interviews with over a dozen practice leaders the report offers a detailed assessment of the business case for climate change risk identification. The analysis finds that government and market responses to scientific predictions about climate change have created new risks for companies today that must be identified and managed. But the necessary expertise is sparse so firms will need to turn to risk management experts like Acclimatise, AIR Worldwide, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Maplecroft, the Met Office and PwC to resolve their challenges.
