Sustainability Finance 101: Climate Related Risk (Physical or Transitionary) and Opportunity

·       Does your business’ financial plan comprehend upcoming risks on short-(financial reporting period), medium-(>short AND <5 yrs) and long-term time horizons(>5 yrs)?

·       Does it comprehend climate and other sustainability risks and opportunities to your raw materials, workforce, supply chain, distribution chain, manufacturing and commercial facilities, customer base, market percentage, customer reputation and investor sentiment?

·       Does it distinguish between “physical” climate risk (e.g. damage due to floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes) and “transition” climate risk (e.g. technology, product and process changes required to remain profitable in the face of climate events)?

·       Does it comprehend the financial benefits and opportunities of early innovation combined with transition planning and implementation?

·       Does it account for competitive market share you could acquire by demonstrating measurable leadership in mitigating climate risk with sustainable development?

As we sow, so shall we reap, as the biblical saying goes.  All businesses on our planet are ultimately intertwined in a common “destiny”, a destiny that is ours to determine by the common sense that each of us has been blessed with, if we choose to use it for the success of our businesses and the betterment and survival of humankind.
