Masterclass: Climate risk due diligence tips from experts and practitioners

Online Webinar

2nd July 2025

This masterclass examined the practical application of climate risk due diligence, focusing on the imperative to translate abstract data into concrete, financial insights. The central theme is that assessing climate risk is now a core component of fiduciary duty, a process which requires both qualitative and quantitative analysis to generate 'decision-useful' information for investors.

It provides a practitioner's perspective on practical application, beginning with the assessment of financial materiality at the asset level and the subsequent integration of that analysis into financial models to understand the impact on unit economics and competitive positioning.

Crucially, effective implementation depends on engaging non-sustainability functions by framing the discussion around immediate business concerns: EBITDA impact for finance teams, supply chain resilience for procurement, and overall shareholder value for the board.

Finally, the session explores the technical solutions that enable this process, demonstrating a clear workflow from reporting to risk detection and actionable mitigation by translating abstract climate data into tangible financial impacts.
