‘Future proof: Preparing your business for a changing climate’, is an eight step guide to help firms minimise the risk to their day-to-day operations.
The leaflet highlights how extremes of weather, such as a rise in temperature, increased flooding and water shortages, could affect buildings, supply chains, customers, employees, insurers and investors.
Dr Neil Bentley, CBI Director Business Environment, said:
“The 2007 floods caused £3bn worth of damage to the economy and highlighted the havoc severe weather can wreak on day-to-day business operations. These kinds of occurrences are likely to become more common. That’s why businesses need to take steps to minimise the risks to their operations, buildings and stock from potential weather-related damage.
“Ensuring adequate measures have been taken to manage the potential risks of climate change will also become increasingly important to keep insurance affordable for firms and households”.
