Corporate Risk and Opportunity Assessment

Climate change policy will create winners and losers. Although many companies may not be able to choose whether they will win or lose as a result of climate change policy and mitigation requirements, virtually all companies can significantly affect the degree to which they win or lose by pro-actively positioning themselves for potential policy outcomes.

TC+ES has been working with companies for 13 years to assess their potential climate change risk and identify potential opportunities arising out of public and governmental concerns over the issue. TC+ES works with GHG emitters to assess the materiality of their future regulatory and financial exposure under alternative policy regimes and to manage that exposure. TC+ES also works with companies that perceive themselves as having a lot to gain by taking advantage of the developing greenhouse gas market.

Working with clients large and small, TC+ES's expertise in this area includes supporting corporate GHG inventories and emissions forecasting, assessing internal emissions reductions options, implementing sophisticated positioning strategies that allow rapid market entry in the future, identifying external reductions opportunities, and many other services. TC+ES has in place a suite of tools and services proven in their ability to help companies assess the risk and opportunities they face. These include:

Cli-Mit Terrain Navigator, in which we thoroughly review a company's current thinking and positioning on the climate issue from a third-party expert perspective and help develop a cost-effective action plan.

Cli-Mit Scorecard, in which we help develop build the analytical foundation for the company's strategic planning efforts in this area.

Cli-Mit Index, in which we track the policy and market environment within which a company functions, in order to identify material changes and trends that the company should internalize.
