Enhanced UK Flood Data for Ecometrica
Ecometrica, experts in climate metrics, have recently enhanced their flood risk mapping precision data by partnering with Twinn by Haskoning.
TCFD (Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosure) legislation is now mandatory for businesses headquartered in the UK with over 500 employees. To comply, companies need to be able to identify potential flood risk exposures to their offices, supply chains, and staff.
Ecometrica has previously used global satellite imagery and climate models to be able to assess potential physical climate risk (including flood) to businesses, as well as predicting future risk against different climate scenarios. However, this data has only been available at a lower resolution, which, for some businesses, does not offer the required detail needed.
“Enhancing our TCFD offering with Twinn Flood Map and Twinn Flood Score data for the UK will help our clients there to fully understand their risk to flood exposure.” Sarah Middlemiss, COO, Ecometrica.
She continues, “We pride ourselves on creating strong partnerships with companies who offer the very best data available”.
