Sustainability Finance 101: Effects of sustainability related risks and opportunities on financial position, financial performance and cash flow.

In the last Sustainability & Sustainable Financial Success 101 post we discussed Transition Planning to Respond to Climate Risks & Opportunities.  In this post we’ll discuss the questions your business needs to be asking, to assess the effects of climate and other sustainability-related risks and opportunities on your business’ financial position and performance and the effects on cash flow.

·       How have past disruptions due to climate events affected your financial position, financial performance and cash flow?

·       Did your business need to make any material adjustments to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities?

·       What are the anticipated financial effects of continued sustainability-related risks and opportunities in the near-, mid- and long-term?

·       What is your planned strategy to manage the anticipated effects?

·       Do you intend to change this strategy based on extenuating circumstances? 

·       What types of events could trigger such changes and how will urgent decisions be made?

·       What are the planned sources of funding that your business has lined up to implement the currently planned strategy and potential updates?

·       Considering the planned strategy/updates, what are your business’ investment plans?

·       Considering the planned strategy/updates, what are your business’ disposal plans?
