The board should ensure that climate systemically informs strategic investment planning and decision-making processes and is embedded into the management of risk and opportunities across the organisation.
Guiding questions
- Does your corporate strategy include a holistic climate strategy informed by scenario analysis, i.e. climate risk mitigation and adaptation as well as business continuity and opportunities?
- Is climate integrated into the “three lines of defence” and the Enterprise Risk Framework (ERM) for the company?
- How does the board ensure that climate risks and opportunities are identified, mitigated, managed, and monitored across the company?
FEATURED RESOURCE
