Have you already secured your most vulnerable sites and processes?
Discuss your challenges, priorities, and the right path forward for your organization with the Carbone 4 teams.
Our approach is based on more than 10 years of experience in assessing the physical impacts of climate change and on our proprietary OCARA methodology, which serves as the industry standard for addressing these challenges.
Business operations are increasingly affected by a wide range of climate-related hazards, the intensity and frequency of which are on the rise.
The flooding of the Novelis aluminum production plant in Switzerland in 2024 recently illustrated this: this incident disrupted the entire supply chain for automakers, including Porsche. Deprived of aluminum alloys, the company was forced to halt production, resulting in losses of more than one billion euros and downward revisions to its revenue forecasts.
The vulnerability of businesses to climate change extends far beyond the risk of damage to their own assets. It is also evident throughout their value chain: in the regions where they operate and those on which they depend, as well as through the deterioration of their employees’ working conditions.
This context makes it essential for companies to make trade-offs regarding development and investment: they must analyze their risks in order to adapt and transform their entire value chain immediately, so as to ensure business continuity.
Development of a comprehensive overview of the challenges across all your sites and throughout your value chain: assessment of changes in hazards or raw risks (Scopes A/B/suppliers/markets), and the proportion of assets and revenue at risk.

Analyze your vulnerabilities and carefully manage your adaptation strategy.
An informal, behind-the-scenes discussion on adaptation challenges, exclusively for Carbone 4 clients.
Once a quarter, Carbone 4 brings together key clients from the Adaptation division to learn about a site, its challenges, its key issues, and its action plans.
Implement our standard methodology
Our analysis takes into account all physical impact chains (damage to property, people, networks, etc.) and is based on our OCARA methodology—the industry standard in this field—which is grounded in documented, traceable, and verifiable assumptions and calculations.
Combining Strategic and Operational Challenges
Through our physical risk assessments and our independent partners, we identify the adaptation solutions best suited to meet your strategic, operational, and regulatory needs.
Tailor the support to your specific needs
Our support can be tailored to your specific constraints and schedule, and may include coaching sessions, ad hoc studies, and more.
Conduct an in-depth risk assessment, followed by the development of a detailed and actionable plan for one or more “pilot” sites or facilities selected from among those at the highest risk.

Understanding, internalization, skill development, and the establishment of governance frameworks for adaptation issues are essential factors for success. That is why we offer immersion workshops, executive committee workshops, awareness-raising conferences, and even the Adaptation and Climate Change Training from the Carbone 4 Academy, which focuses on adaptation issues and the OCARA methodology.
A custom study? Insights from our experts on your topics? Market monitoring? Adaptation strategy or biodiversity?
Develop your group-wide adaptation strategy (governance, business processes, training, data, etc.) based on Carbone 4’s expertise and inspired by best practices implemented by the most advanced companies.
