HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 December 2024 - Zurich Resilience Solutions ("ZRS"), the commercial risk advisory and services unit of Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich), and GoImpact Capital Partners ("GoImpact") are pleased to announce a strategic alliance aimed at empowering businesses in Asia Pacific to address the growing challenges of climate change.



This collaboration integrates ZRS' advanced physical climate risk analysis, proprietary climate and financial loss data, and specialized tools with GoImpact's sustainability education expertise, delivering a comprehensive solution to help businesses identify, assess, and adapt to climate risks.

Enhancing climate resilience with ready-to-go solutions

The partnership offers a ready-to-go suite of solutions that address the urgent need for actionable climate adaptation strategies. Businesses can benefit from:

  • Data-driven climate risk assessments: ZRS' proprietary tools to evaluate exposures to physical climate risks like extreme weather and supply chain disruptions.
  • Climate resilience guidance and training: Support for organisations to build resilience in their assets, operations, and people.
  • ESG knowledge upskilling: GoImpact's structured sustainability learning programmes to keep companies informed about market trends and regulatory requirements.
  • Regulatory reporting support: Assistance in meeting disclosure and reporting requirements related to physical climate risks.

By combining ZRS' technical expertise with GoImpact's practical learning resources, the alliance delivers a robust toolkit for businesses to enhance resilience and seize opportunities in the sustainability landscape.

Driving climate resilience and sustainability in business

Initially targeting businesses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, the strategic alliance aims to address key climate risks such as extreme weather events, supply chain disruptions, and operational vulnerabilities. Leveraging ZRS' deep knowledge in climate resilience and GoImpact's strong regional presence in sustainability advocacy, the alliance is well-positioned to empower companies to implement effective climate adaptation solutions.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr Amar Rahman, Global Head Climate & Sustainability Solutions, Zurich Resilience Solutions said: "Zurich Resilience Solutions' partnership with GoImpact highlights the critical role of education in fostering climate resilience.
