How to Manage Climate Risk

TAKE THE NEXT STEP. While the global movement towards mandatory climate risk reporting means your obligations are increasing, following the policy principles also makes good business sense. If you screen for climate risks at any point in your building’s lifecycle, you can mitigate the physical impact of weather events and patterns. In turn, you can reduce your exposure to unexpected financial downside. On the other hand, sound climate risk management brings opportunities. For example, your buildings can operate more effectively and competitively as you seek to attract and retain tenants or reduce operating costs. Once you understand your climate risks, you might look at things differently. Whether that’s your due diligence process, leasing and renewals strategy, or even how you get all teams up to speed on your chosen risk management path. If you are unsure of when to begin your climate risk journey, there’s no better time than now. With a growing arsenal of digital tools, a structured approach and expert advice from our sustainability team, it’s easier than you think to understand the physical and financial impacts of climate change on your assets.
