Adaptation and resilience of companies in the face of climate change  - Quantis and BCG report - Mobile

While many organizations have made strides in reducing emissions, far fewer have prioritized climate adaptation, a critical factor in ensuring future resilience.

As extreme weather events grow in frequency and intensity, businesses face increasing risks to their assets, supply chains and long-term viability. Climate-related disasters have tripled over the past 25 years, causing over $200 billion in damages in 2023 alone. Supply chain disruptions, rising insurance costs and regulatory shifts are compounding the pressure. 

While many organizations have made strides in reducing emissions, far fewer have prioritized climate adaptation — a critical factor in ensuring future resilience. 

A new report from BCG and Quantis highlights the urgent need for companies to integrate adaptation strategies into their core business operations. With some businesses facing potential EBITDA losses of up to 25%, the financial stakes are too high to ignore. However, adaptation isn’t just about risk management — it presents a major opportunity for innovation, competitive differentiation and long-term growth.
