CDP6 2008: FTSE 350 – Building business resilience to inevitable climate change

IBM and Acclimatise have joined forces to publish a landmark report that reveals how UK FTSE 350 companies are adapting to minimise the risks and maximise the opportunities resulting from climate change.

The report based on responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project 2008, has been produced by Acclimatise and sponsored by IBM, to explore the business implications of inevitable climate change. The report recognises that adaptation is an increasingly critical issue for businesses, investors and the financial markets. Director level guidance is provided on the actions needed to adapt and build business resilience.

This must-attend event will give the audience a unique opportunity to hear the highlights of the report from the authors and ask key questions of our expert panel. Participants will hear about the actions being taken by companies to assess and manage the implications that a changing climate will have on business models.

We will discuss:

• How many FTSE 350 companies are likely to be exposed to significant operational, regulatory, reputational and financial risks?
• The balance between adaptation and mitigation in companies priorities and whether businesses have an understanding of the risks and opportunities.
• Whether there are parallels to be drawn between the current economic climate and the business risks driven by climate change.
• Are directors and their professional advisors ensuring that they are acting on the latest scientific information that is available?
