From climate risk to business resilience: How are companies turning adaptation into long-term value?

Climate action isn’t cheap, but the cost of inaction has become increasingly difficult to ignore.

As extreme weather, resource scarcity and supply chain disruption intensify, climate risk is translating into financial and operational risk.

Whilst the business case for resilience is growing, organisations still face a significant challenge: how can they identify where they are most at risk, prioritise investment, and demonstrate the long-term value of adaptation?

In this webinar, we were joined by industry leaders Jeff Gitterman (Gitterman Asset Management), Briana Marvuglio (Bristol Myers Squibb), and Alicia Simmons (Frontier Co-op), for a conversation moderated by Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh.

Bringing together perspectives from across business, investment, and the supply chain, we explored what climate resilience looks like in practice, including:

How organisations can identify and prioritise their biggest climate vulnerabilities across operations and supply chains
How sustainability, finance, and other business functions can align around adaptation priorities and investment
How companies and investors can quantify the value of resilience and build the business case for long-term action
Where businesses should focus today to prepare for increasingly uncertain climate impacts
