Business
Welcome to our new business pages. We aim to communicate clearly and simply with businesses to help them understand what risks from the environment they face and how they can be prepared, adapt and thrive whatever the weather.
The Association of British Insurers has reported that "when impacted by a major incident such as a flood, 80% of businesses without an emergency continuity plan in place never fully recover".
The UK Climate Change Projections published by the UK Government indicated that severe weather events are likely to be more frequent. How would your business cope if utility services failed, stock was damaged or if staff and customers could not get to your site?
A solely low carbon economy will still be vulnerable to risks from the environment - it is much more effective to identify and manage the possible risks and opportunities rather than reacting to events.
Use our resources and those provided by other organisations to identify your risks and take positive action to stay profitable and take advantage of being business resilient.
The Weathering the Storm guide published on this page and materials derived from it on these business pages have been adapted from a concept originated, developed and funded by partners from across the East and West Midlands led by Climate East Midlands and Sustainability West Midlands.
