Audits and Assessments
Climate Risk Assessment
Navigate a
changing climate
Australia is one of the most climate-vulnerable developed nations.
Whether or not your business is required to report under Australian mandatory climate reporting, understanding your relation to climate risk is a crucial element of future planning for every business.
Identifying vulnerabilities and opportunities, assessing potential impacts, and developing tailored strategies to protect your business from extreme weather events, regulatory shifts, and supply chain disruptions is a must.
We empower you to build resilience and reduce risks.
We have the skills and experience to turn identified risks into solutions and opportunities.
Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.
Climate risk assessments are mandatory for some, but useful for everyone.
Why conduct a Climate Risk Assessment?
Protect Business Operations
Climate hazards impact operational capabilities. A risk assessment identifies vulnerabilities and solutions to keep your business running smoothly.
Preparing you for
- Bushfires – More frequent and intense fire seasons threaten infrastructure, supply chains, and workforce safety.
- Flooding & Storms – Coastal and inland businesses are at risk of extreme rainfall, cyclones, and rising sea levels.
- Heatwaves – Australia’s record-breaking temperatures impact worker productivity, energy costs, and asset longevity.
- Non-physical impacts – your clients, and their customers, are changing their purchasing behaviour. Businesses who don’t stack up in terms of sustainability risk being left behind.
Regulatory & Reporting Obligations
The Australian government is tightening climate-related disclosure requirements.
Business may need to comply with
- Climate-related financial disclosures – Mandatory for large businesses and financial institutions.
- National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) – Tracks emissions and energy consumption.
- State-Based Climate Policies – Varying requirements across states for adaptation and emissions reductions.
- Industry regulations, codes, and accreditations.
Rising Insurance Costs & Financial Risks
- Insurers are increasing premiums or withdrawing coverage in high-risk areas (e.g., flood-prone regions).
- Investors and banks are incorporating climate risk into lending decisions, affecting access to finance.
- Businesses reliant on agriculture, tourism, and supply chains are vulnerable to climate-related disruptions.
Enhance Long-Term Resilience
With climate risks expected to intensify over the coming decades, businesses that take early action are better positioned to adapt, thrive, and outperform competitors in an evolving economic landscape.

Our approach to audits and assessments
Thorough & Holistic
We take a deep look into your energy and sustainability data in order to help shape your operational decisions.
Our multi-disciplined team draw upon their engineering, sustainability, permaculture, psychology, and training skills to look past the obvious and find solutions that work in the real world.
Unintrusive
While we do need to ask you for data and other input, we recognise that your primary responsibility is to deliver your widgets on time. So we work around your schedule, and if we come on site we follow your WHS procedures and engage with your team only when reasonable to do so.
Simplifying the complex
We like to think of ourselves as translators.
We make sure we understand the data, the engineering and the opportunities, and share this in a way that’s relevant and easy for you to understand.
