WorleyParsons, the leading global provider of engineering, project management and operational support services and Acclimatise, the market leader in guiding business on the impacts of inevitable climate change, have formed a new alliance, which enable us to offer clients a unique, integrated portfolio of services on profitable sustainability and climate change.
Through the alliance, Worley Parsons will provide a range of EcoNomicsTM services and technologies that will profitably embed environmental, social and economic sustainability into project delivery, across the asset lifecycle. Acclimatise will provide cutting-edge climate change risk assessment and risk management services, informed by the latest climate change science, to help clients manage the risks and realise the business opportunities from a changing climate and increasing climatic variability.
By combining the specialist expertise of both companies, WorleyParsons and Acclimatise can help clients achieve profitable sustainability across their businesses, and in particular on major projects.
The alliance is serving clients in the energy, resource and complex process industries, as well as banks and other risk capital providers.
Speaking at the launch of the alliance, WorleyParsons Regional EcoNomics™ Director for Europe said: “WorleyParsons has always been at the forefront of delivering engineering innovation and the very best project delivery to our customers. Our alliance with Acclimatise raises our ability to reduce our customers’ project risks and ‘future proof’ their projects against the effects of climate change”.
John Firth, Acclimatise CEO and co-founder, said: “How do you embed sustainability into the bottom line and how do we manage the risks and uncertainties of inevitable climate change? These are questions this alliance will answer. Together we will bring real added value to our clients through our integrated services. The challenges before us are unlike anything we have previously experienced. A new approach is required, and this is exactly what the alliance will deliver.”

Climate & Biodiversity Experts (CBE) provides solutions to address the unprecedented challenges that business, governments and communities face with global environmental change. CBE’s main aim is to provide innovative services and products in the areas of climate change adaptation, biodiversity and ecosystems services. The CBE team is linked to a global network of highly skilled partners and associates working in the environmental sector with vast knowledge in Latin America.
Acclimatise, in partnership with CBE, are offering two essential products targeted at the energy, transport, water, ecosystem services and tourism sectors:
- Climate change risk and adaptation assessment
These assess and prioritise risks, then analyse the costs and benefits of adaptation measures. They help managers of projects and assets to plan for the smooth integration of climate resilience into project decision making and existing / new facilities.
- Climate resilient environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs)
The role of ESIAs as instruments for building climate resilience into new developments is now being recognised by project developers and lending banks. Acclimatise and CBE have unique experience in this area and have developed cost-effective approached to ensure that climate change issues are smoothly integrated into ESIA. We assess the impacts of climate change on the facility, environment and communities in a holistic manner and identify mitigation measures in the ESIA which are robust to future climate change.
