Webinar
Climate change is costing your business money
Now what?
Summary
Climate change and nature loss aren't abstract risks anymore, they're already showing up on the balance sheet. Our recent Climate Commitments Report surveyed 1,600 UK business owners across 28 economic sectors and found that…
84% of businesses can identify at least one climate-related impact in the past 2 years.
70% of climate-impacted businesses have seen costs equivalent to 1% or more of annual turnover in the past year.
Despite this, many businesses aren't joining the dots. Almost half (48%) don't consider themselves affected by climate change, yet when prompted, 84% can point to a specific climate or nature related impact on their business in the past two years.
Join us for a 30-minute webinar unpacking what this means for your business, why every organisation needs a transition plan with board level buy-in, and the practical steps you can take to start building resilience.
