Empowering
your business
for a sustainable future

Climate change is impacting businesses in numerous ways, creating both risks and opportunities. Understanding and managing these impacts is essential for long-term success.

 

Our GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Risks and Opportunities Assessment service helps you identify where you can reduce your carbon footprint, save money, protect your business from climate-related risks, and take advantage of opportunities that emerge in this rapidly changing landscape.

Why focus on climate risks & opportunites?

Climate change presents both significant risks and valuable opportunities for businesses. Ignoring these changes—whether physical risks like extreme weather or shifts in the business landscape can result in unexpected costs and lost opportunities. 

​

More than ever, businesses are being judged by their customers and employees on how they deal with
these issues.

By proactively identifying and managing your climate change related risks and opportunities, you can:

New Requirement for ISO-Certified Businesses

​If your business is ISO-certified (e.g., Quality Management, Health and Safety, or Food Safety), you are required to consider climate change in your management systems.

 

This means evaluating how climate risks might affect your operations and incorporating these into your risk assessments. Our service ensures you meet these expectations and remain compliant with ISO standards.
