BSR Insight | Five Steps for Building Climate Resilience
Although most companies recognize the threats of climate change and extreme weather events, few have begun to incorporate climate resilience strategies into their operations. As the effects of global warming increase, companies face pressure from insurers, investors, governments, customers, and others to show that they are proactively addressing risks. A new guide by Oxfam America, Acclimatise, and BSR describes best practices in risk assessment and planning for companies to create or improve their climate resilience by collaborating with local communities. As the report states, the most successful approaches will address the entire value chain, consider the triple bottom line, and integrate with core strategy and operations. The guide offers discussion points for companies to assess their approaches, identify risks and opportunities, and define solutions. For more information on BSR's climate practice, please email Ryan Schuchard.
