SprintlyWorks adopted a three-phase approach to help ChemicalCo develop a robust, business-aligned climate risk assessment framework grounded in global best practices.

1. Define Framework and Methodology:

We began by aligning the project scope with globally recognized climate disclosure frameworks, including TCFD, CDP, IPCC, IEA, and WWF. In collaboration with the sustainability steering team, we outlined assessment parameters, mapped knowledge gaps, and developed a 7-step methodology to identify and assess risks across three time horizons: short (to 2030), medium (2030–2050), and long term (2050+). Preliminary scenario analysis based on RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 was also introduced to simulate divergent futures.

2. Conduct Site and Function-Level Risk Identification:

We facilitated in-depth interviews with 13 stakeholders across three high-impact manufacturing sites as well as four global business functions. Interviewees were engaged in small groups to explore perceived risks and opportunities under different climate scenarios. We tailored our interview guides to cover both transition and physical risk domains, from carbon pricing and regulation to extreme weather events and supply chain disruptions.

3. Synthesize Insights and Deliver Recommendations:

Findings were consolidated into a visual risk matrix and scenario-based heatmaps to illustrate the likelihood and impact of each risk category. We delivered a practical methodology ChemicalCo can adopt going forward, along with tailored recommendations to improve scenario planning, reporting readiness, and future financial impact analysis.

By embedding best practices and ensuring stakeholder alignment, the project positioned ChemicalCo to proactively manage climate risk and prepare for evolving disclosure expectations.
