Supply chains in a warmer, wetter and wilder climate

Did you know that 94% of Fortune 1000 companies experienced supply chain disruptions from extreme weather in 2023 alone?
As climate effects increase in intensity, supply chains are at risk like never before. Events such as floods, droughts, and storms can quickly disrupt or halt operations within just a few hours.
Without comprehensive visibility into your supply network, these climate disruptions become business-threatening blind spots.
Global supply chains are extremely vulnerable to climate disruptions. Understanding and prioritising risk management is therefore essential for maintaining operations.
Extreme weather events: Hurricanes, floods, and droughts can damage infrastructure and obstruct transportation routes, leading to immediate disruption in operations.
Resource shortages: Changing rain patterns and higher temperatures lower crop production. This puts food and raw material supplies at risk in many industries.
Geopolitical tensions: Resource scarcity intensifies conflicts, destabilising regions and disrupting established trade partnerships.
Infrastructure damage: Rising sea levels and extreme temperatures damage ports, roads, and manufacturing facilities, creating bottlenecks throughout supply networks.
South Asia exemplifies these challenges, with climate impacts creating disruptions that cascade through global supply chains.
Over 99% of surveyed executives reported that their supply chains are affected by climate change, according to Economist Impact 1
Supply chain visibility identifies vulnerabilities and builds climate resilience. Without it, businesses face operational disruptions, cost increases, and reputational damage.
Organisations must move beyond reactive measures to implement proactive resilience strategies.
Modern businesses require sophisticated tools to manage climate-related supply chain risks:
