Climate Risk Is Business Risk: The Cost of Standing Still

As climate change accelerates and its financial implications become impossible to ignore, one message is clearer than ever: climate risk is business risk. From physical impacts on assets to tightening regulation, shifting markets and increasing investor scrutiny, organisations are under growing pressure to understand and manage their exposure.

While nature degradation is often treated as a secondary issue, its influence on resilience, resource security and long-term value creation cannot be overlooked. Climate and nature risks are deeply interconnected and must be considered together to build truly resilient businesses.

Join Anthesis for an engaging, in-person discussion as we unpack the rapidly evolving climate risk landscape and explore how forward-thinking organisations are turning risk into opportunity. We will share how leading businesses are strengthening resilience, enhancing competitiveness and protecting long-term value in an increasingly uncertain world.

Over breakfast and conversation, we will explore:

• Climate risk as financial risk: How physical climate impacts translate into operational disruption, asset impairment and supply chain volatility, and how these risks can be quantified and managed.
• From compliance to competitive advantage: How frontrunners are embedding climate risk into governance, strategy and investment decisions, not as a regulatory burden, but as a driver of value creation.
• Climate-resilient value chains: Practical approaches to building resilient supply chains, protecting asset value and staying ahead of evolving regulatory and investor expectations.
• Nature as a hidden climate risk: How ecosystem dependencies shape climate exposure, and why climate and nature risks cannot be addressed in isolation.

This session is designed for professionals working at the intersection of sustainability, strategy and finance. You will leave with practical insights to help build a business that is credible, competitive and fit for the future.
