2026 Agenda Sessions

Climate Risk? SO WHAT. Beyond reporting: Reducing risk where it matters

Across industries, companies have poured time and resources into climate risk assessments – often for the sake of compliance. The result? 

  • Growing frustration with ESG reporting that feels like bureaucracy, not progress. 
  • Assessments too high-level to guide real operational decisions. 
  • A narrow focus on site-level risks, while the biggest exposures often lie across the value chain, beyond direct control. 

It’s time to shift the mindset – from checking boxes to reducing real risk. This session will explore how companies can turn climate risk assessments into pragmatic, data-driven tools that deliver measurable business value, not just reports.
