CLIMATE RESILIENCE
TURNING RISKS
INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Climate change and extreme weather events are the greatest risks to a thriving economy in the medium and long term. We work hand-in-hand with you to develop future-proof and competitive strategies for climate-resilient companies and organisations.
CLIMATE STRATEGY
Courage to change.
Preparing business models for the future is our task as entrepreneurs. The transformation to climate resilience requires courage and willpower, as climate change is a major challenge for us all. Working together as equals, we make risks measurable, opportunities applicable and work with you to develop paths to a successful future: the climate strategy.
Climate-fit for the future.
Climate risks have direct and indirect impacts: on our companies, supply chains, markets and customers. If we want to successfully take the path to climate resilience, it is our job to make bold decisions based on reliable findings. With our expertise, we support our clients in creating and utilising the necessary basis for decision-making.
Resilience in practice.
In real life, day-to-day business dominates and yet the topic of climate resilience is becoming more and more prominent due to ever new reporting obligations. We utilise the resulting synergies so that you can implement your climate strategy successfully and in a resource-saving manner. To this end, we create a climate strategy agenda tailored to your business model: your pragmatic action plan.
SERVICES
INCEPTION
Getting started at eye level – Status-quo | Context | Roadmap
Building climate resilience starts with understanding the organisation and its environment. We work with you to identify the environment relevant to climate risks and draw up a climate resilience roadmap for your organisation.
Status quo
Together with you, we develop a vision with climate targets and record the current status of climate resilience. We review existing decisionmaking bases, projects and strategies for synergies with the climate targets and identify gaps. We also pool resources for the development of the climate strategy.
Context
The company’s environment is essential when assessing climate risks and developing room for manoeuvre. This is why we collect information, describe connections and relationships within and outside your company that are relevant to climate risks. This results in a comprehensive climate-relevant context analysis.
Roadmap
Once the climate-relevant framework conditions of your company have been identified, we draw up a pragmatic plan for achieving your vision: the roadmap to the climate strategy. The roadmap contains realistic milestones, work steps, a timetable and resource allocation. With our roadmap, you can achieve your climate goals without losing sight of your day-to-day business.
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is power – Risks | Opportunities | Scenarios
The key to the successful implementation of corporate climate targets is a robust basis for decision-making. We support you in developing the necessary knowledge for your successful transformation to climate resilience.
Risks
Climate risks consist of both physical risks due to the effects of climate change and transition risks due to the reduction of emissions and the associated regulatory frameworks. We use our specialist expertise for you and identify relevant climate risks using recognised scientific methods and highquality data sets.
Opportunities
Climate risks can also result in major opportunities for your company. Together with you, we use the results of the risk analyses, best-practice examples and entrepreneurial degrees of freedom to develop opportunities for your business model.
Scenarios
Predicting future developments is always associated with uncertainties. We therefore use external climate scenarios for different climate projections and transformation paths in order to assess future risks and opportunities. From these various projections, we work with you to develop corporate climate scenarios that are used as a basis for decision-making when implementing the climate strategy.
PROWESS
The difference between try and triumph is a little umph – Strategy | Process Design | Business Model
Entrepreneurial ability to act arises from the integration of decision-making principles in strategy and business model. We support our clients in planning their climate strategy and designing the relevant processes to establish a climate-resilient business model.
Climate Strategy
Companies need a climate strategy with clear objectives in order to address climate risks and make the most of the opportunities that arise. We set priorities together on the basis of established decision-making principles and relevant assessment criteria. The climate strategy is integrated into existing corporate strategies and underpinned with key performance indicators.
Process Design
In order to successfully implement the climate strategy, it is important to institutionalize the processes of creating corporate climate scenarios, climate risk analysis and climate strategy. We support you in designing processes and control mechanisms that are resource-efficient and meet the highest quality standards of all stakeholders.
Business Model
The sustainability and future development of the business model in the face of climate risks is central to the climate strategy. To this end, we work with you to optimise the current and future orientation of the business model in such a way that your business model becomes climate-resilient and benefits from the transformation to the greatest possible extent.
ACTION
Actions speak louder than words – Agenda | Controlling | Project Management
Any strategy is only as good as its implementation. Courageous and intelligent action turns a climate strategy into a real model for success. We support you in implementing and optimising your climate strategy.
Agenda
An agenda with specific projects and measures helps you to achieve your climate targets. As experienced designers of climate adaptation, we support you in selecting, planning and implementing specific projects and measures. We ensure that your agenda has an optimal cost-benefit ratio.
Controlling
Setting up and recording the right key figures for climate targets is controlling. We set up an efficient controlling system for your climate strategy that enables you to continuously monitor the direction and degree of target achievement of the climate strategy. This enables you to deal proactively with changing framework conditions.
Project Management
In our experience, the efficient management of projects is a key component in the transformation to climate resilience. We use our experience in such projects to your advantage by anchoring the requirements for climate adaptation measures in the relevant processes.
RESEARCH
Utilizing climate research – Analyses | Climate Expertise | Insights
Research on climate change, extreme weather and climate adaptation is constantly evolving. We are working to utilise the findings of climate research, often in collaboration with competent partners from various fields of action.
Analyses
A robust knowledge base is extremely important for political decisions on climate adaptation, as the utilisation of the results goes hand in hand with a high level of social responsibility. We support you with our climate science and meteorological expertise in the preparation of analyses on the effects of climate change on social fields of action.
Climate Expertise
Specific questions in connection with climate adaptation can only be answered robustly with climate science expertise. We bring our climate expertise to your projects in such a way that the project objectives can be designed in a climate-resilient way. To this end, we use high-quality data sets and the latest scientific findings that stand up to thorough scrutiny.
Insights
The results of climate analyses can be used to identify the need for adaptation and action. We determine such findings for you and communicate them in a mutually understandable language so that you can use the findings directly for further projects and proactive climate adaptation.
ADAPTATION
Shaping the future safely – Risk Analysis | Requirements | Guidelines
National and international organisations are called upon to work towards climate resilience. You can expect the highest quality from us when it comes to analysing risks and opportunities, prioritising needs and developing concrete measures.
Risk Analysis
A climate risk analysis, for example in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14091, is one of the most important bases for determining the effects of climate change. We prepare a climate risk analysis for you that fulfils the highest quality requirements by drawing up the climate risks on the basis of reliable data and information. The presentation of the results depends on the requirements of your project.
Requirements
We derive the corresponding adaptation requirements for you from the quantitative and qualitative results of the risk analysis based on comprehensible criteria. In doing so, we emphasise the comparability of the results and the use of synergies and learning effects.
Guidelines
Concrete measures and recommendations for action are central aspects of the successful realisation of climate adaptation. We design a guideline tailored to your requirements with concrete measures that optimise the cost-benefit ratio.
DEVELOPMENT
Utilizing climate expertise – Data | AI/ML | Innovation
Weather and climate have been key success factors since the days of hunter-gatherers. We enrich your products and business models with climate expertise and high-quality data sets.
Data
For many applications, the use of high-quality weather and climate data and the parameters derived from it can represent considerable added value. We incorporate our climate expertise into your processes, products and business models. This allows your customers to benefit from the added value that results from the intelligent integration of climate data.
AI/ML
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are promising applications. We integrate AI and ML in the utilisation and intersection of weather and climate data with dependent processes and variables. This enables us to realise added value for your software applications.
