This summer's prolonged and unprecedented heat make one thing clear: climate risks are already affecting business performance. From disrupted operations and lower productivity to higher costs and potential revenue impacts, many companies are experiencing the consequences firsthand. But are these impacts being considered, measured and quantified?
As climate change drives more frequent and intense heatwaves in Central Europe, companies need to revisit not only their assessment of physical risks, but also assumptions around infrastructure, energy, workforce, supply chains and consumer behavior. Is this already reflected in strategic planning, risk management and decision-making?
This session brings together corporate and investor perspectives to explore how climate risks are threatening business resilience, changing market expectations and reshaping reporting — and what information investors need to make informed decisions in a changing climate.
