Corporates use cases

A lithium mining company was required by its regulator to submit a climate risk disclosures report to inform investor decisions starting in 2024. The report needed to align with ISSB standards. As part of this, it was looking for cost-effective analysis of physical risk for 7 sites, each consisting of a combination of: (i) fully separated individual, built assets (ii) sets of joined or interlinked buildings (iii) storage facilities (iv) access roads and (v) conveyor systems.

The renewables division of a large power company wanted to assess the risk to their wind energy generation facility. In particular, they wanted to understand the risk to each individual turbine and to critical supply chain infrastructure using a consistent, granular and transparent approach. Their focus was to ensure operational continuity over the life of the asset.

A developer needs to undertake a due diligence assessment of a brownfield infrastructure project (port) it is considering purchasing for a development. It wants to know if there are physical climate change risks that may result in unexpected short-term operational expenses or sooner-than-expected capital expenses that could impact the profitability of the development and their ability to service their loan.

A large supermarket group with assets in multiple countries recently had its operations impacted by two back-to-back extreme weather events. It was dissatisfied with the results from a top-down, postal code level of physical climate risk analysis received from a previous provider as key insights into necessary adaptation actions were limited. The company was looking for a provider who could offer highly granular, asset-level results that informed cost-benefit analyses of various adaptation pathways.
