At Sustainaccount, we believe collaboration is essential to tackling the complex challenges of climate change. Brenntag, a global leader in chemical distribution, selected Sustainaccount to identify climate risks across its global operations. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to building resilience while maintaining operational efficiency and sustainability.
About the Collaboration
Brenntag operates within complex global supply chains, which are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a company committed to addressing these challenges, Brenntag has taken proactive steps to incorporate climate risks into its strategy. Partnering with Sustainaccount, Brenntag leveraged advanced tools and expertise across three areas:
- Understanding Climate Risks: using predictive analytics and scenario modeling to identify vulnerabilities in Brenntag’s operations arising from both acute and chronic physical climate risks, such as extreme weather events and sea level rise.
- Developing Tailored Adaptation Measures: providing customized recommendations to address identified risks, aligned with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) framework, ensuring Brenntag could adapt effectively and maintain business continuity.
- Supporting Decision-Making with Data-Driven Insights: delivering comprehensive, forward-looking analyses that enable Brenntag to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively to mitigate climate risks.
Brenntag’s approach reflects a broader shift: businesses are no longer waiting for climate risk to become a forced disclosure exercise before acting on it. We’re glad to have supported that shift, and glad to keep doing it for other organizations facing the same exposure.
