From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Embedding Climate Resilience into Business Strategy

For executives, understanding the bottom-line impact of climate change is critical for safeguarding business resilience, profitability and optimizing capital allocation. This session explores Synthomer's shift from mandatory reporting to integrating the financial quantification of climate scenarios into their core business model.  In conversation, Chris Brown, Vice President Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) at Synthomer and Tom Harvey, SVP Product Management at Risilience, examine steps taken to deploy a digital twin and advanced analytics to model the tangible financial impacts of physical disruptions and market transition risks, such as aggressive carbon pricing.  Learn how establishing a standardized financial quantification framework allowed Synthomer to prioritize mitigation and adaptation initiatives, based on financial impact, to protect margins and uncover new market opportunities. By embedding these critical data points into enterprise risk management (ERM), businesses can confidently navigate market volatility, allocate resources effectively, and drive long-term shareholder value.
