For the consumer products and ICT sectors, climate change has the potential to disrupt supply chains, damage critical assets and infrastructure, and create new customer needs. The latest reports in BSR’s "Climate Change Adaptation" series—which provides insight on climate-related risks and opportunities for a variety of industries—include practical examples of actions companies are already taking, as well as recommendations on how company leaders can improve their business’ resiliency.
The reports recommend that companies:
- Innovate for emerging climate change needs: Consumers and businesses alike will look for products and services that help them adapt to increasing natural resource constraints and extreme weather events.
- Collaborate with other industries and business partners to increase the impact of your own operations.
- Help suppliers improve resource management and disaster preparedness to increase the resiliency of their supply chains.
Additional industry briefs will be published later this year. For questions, contact Ryan Schuchard.
