Climate Risk Analysis for Companies
Climate change is increasingly presenting businesses with new challenges. Particularly in alpine regions such as Tyrol, extreme events like heavy rainfall, flooding, debris flows, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent. These developments can significantly impact production sites, infrastructure, supply chains, and operational processes. A structured climate risk analysis helps companies identify at an early stage which climate-related risks affect their location and how these risks may evolve in the future. alpS GmbH supports companies in systematically analyzing these risks and creating a solid basis for climate-resilient decision-making.
Our climate risk analysis combines scientific climate data, international standards (e.g. IPCC and ISO 31000), and regional expertise. The starting point is a location-specific assessment of climatic developments and relevant climate hazards. Depending on needs, various analytical modules can be applied, including:
- assessment of regional climatological conditions
- analysis of future developments using relevant climate indices (e.g. heavy rainfall or heat)
- screening of exposure to natural hazards
- on-site inspections
Additionally, operational processes, production workflows, logistics, and risks along the supply chain can be examined. In a joint workshop, key risks are discussed and potential adaptation measures are developed.
The result is a clear and structured evaluation of climate-related risks at the company site, complemented by concrete recommendations and short-term actionable measures. This provides companies with a sound basis for managing climate-related risks within corporate risk management, meeting increasing regulatory requirements such as sustainability reporting, and making climate-resilient investment decisions. At the same time, the analysis enhances planning security and supports companies in adapting their locations and operations to the long-term challenges of climate change.
