Climate: Five questions to crystallize the risk manager’s role

How ESG factors are shaping risk management and the role of risk managers

The rising importance of ESG is clear, but how does this affect risk professionals?

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, including climate, are not only the preserve of sustainability and investor relations teams. Climate in particular is a sphere where risk professionals can and should take a central role in supporting their organizations’ resilience.

This insight, based on perspectives from WTW’s Outsmarting Uncertainty webinar series, suggests five key climate questions for businesses. These issues can help define the critical role of risk management in helping businesses adapt to a warming world and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Outsmarting Uncertainty webinars cover a range of subjects designed to benefit risk and insurance professionals. Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge and confidence to make more informed choices on behalf of your organization.
