How climate action can deliver long-term business value through increased resilience and lower costs
Climate risk is business risk. As energy volatility and extreme weather events intensify, climate action is central to supply security, risk mitigation and protecting commercial value.
The focus
The focus
Supply chain decarbonization
Scope 3 is the hardest part of net zero to solve. It is also critical to manage risk, strengthen supply chains and protect long-term business value. We'll cover what's actually working, the investments worth making, and how buyers and suppliers can share the cost.
Climate adaptation
Floods, droughts, and heat stress are already hitting balance sheets. Insurance costs are rising. Supply chains are breaking. Leading companies are adapting now, before the next disruption forces their hand. We'll look at what climate resilience actually costs, and what it saves.

From climate action, to Scope 3, to climate resilience
Today’s climate leaders now recognize that climate risk is business risk. Whilst Scope 3 remains central to the conversation, it now sits within a broader business strategy that encompasses resilience, adaptation, energy security, finance and long-term competitiveness.
The Climate Resilience Innovation Forum reflects this evolution, bringing together leaders from all sectors and industries to explore how resilient supply chains create lasting commercial advantage for business.
