Climate resilience consultancy for the private sector

As extreme weather events increase in frequency and magnitude, assets and supply chains are increasingly at risk. Haskoning’s climate resilience services combine data-driven analysis, domain expertise, and deep consultancy and engineering experience to help private sector organisations understand and adapt to climate risks.

As the impacts of climate change continue to become more prevalent, private sector organisations are seeing pressure from all sides. We believe that tailor-made adaptation roadmaps are the only way to truly safeguard assets and future operations.

First, there’s the immense financial damage caused by extreme weather events. High-value assets can be damaged by flooding, storms, and hurricanes, insurance premiums are rising, and disruption can lead to significant indirect damage such as downtime and reputational damage.

Then there’s the increasing scrutiny of investors that want to ensure these climate risks are being considered and mitigated in business operations and reporting. Not to mention changing regulations that demand organisations deliver comprehensive risk reporting aligned to leading disclosure frameworks like ISSB – IFRS 2 and CSRD.

Haskoning helps organisations in all sectors and industries overcome these challenges. With our engineering domain expertise, data-driven approach, and extensive experience in climate resilience, we can help you understand, quantify and mitigate risks to your sites and assets. By understanding your climate risk in detail, we work towards effective adaptation roadmaps and bankable adaptation solutions that satisfy regulators and investors alike.

Four steps to comprehensive climate resilience

Our climate resilience consultancy and engineering services cover four key steps to help you protect your key assets and operations and mitigate the impacts of growing climate hazards.

1. Portfolio-level risk and vulnerability assessment

Using our digital tools and Twinn by Haskoning datasets, we can help you understand climate exposure and vulnerabilities across your entire asset portfolio, identify high risk sites, and assess and prioritise adaptation needs. This level of assessment also can be used to conduct full due diligence before investing in new sites and assets. All output is in compliance with the latest regulations and guidelines such as IFRS S2 and CSRD.

3. Adaptation planning

4. Design and construction support

Comprehensive climate resilience

Sector-specific risk insights and analyses

Our engineering experience covers a range of sectors, helping us translate climate data into meaningful risk insights that are sensitive to the context of your industry. We understand how your business works and operates, and how your unique climate risks are impacting your operations.

Feasible adaptation plans

We turn theoretical data into practical adaptation plans that are feasible on an operational, technical, financial, and social level. By applying our learnings from global IFI and public sector projects, we develop solutions for the private sector that fit within the context of your business.

From analysis to implementation

Based on our domain expertise, digital capabilities, and climate resilience experience, we can support organisations from initial risk screening to design and implementation.

Extensive climate data and models

Our Twinn by Haskoning dataset includes aggregated risk information from 19 global multi-hazard datasets and counting, meaning you get a deep understanding of the threats facing your business – and how to adapt to them. We also use high-resolution, local climate hazard modelling and hydrodynamic flood models to test different adaptation scenarios.
