A 2023 BCI survey was conducted to determine the effects of climate-related

               events on organisations. The participants of this survey stated that supply
               chain disruption (47.3 per cent), staff absence (45.9 per cent), temporary loss
               of premises (44.5 per cent), loss of power (41.8 per cent), and revenue loss
               (27.4 per cent) are their top concerns. The increasing effects of climate

               change are directly impacting the ability of organisations to operate
               seamlessly and maintain profitability.
               To effectively tackle these challenges, businesses must proactively integrate
               sustainable practices, strengthening their climate resilience. This necessitates

               adopting an anticipatory mindset, investing into workforce resilience,
               building robust infrastructure, and establishing comprehensive early warning
               systems. The ‘Four A’ methodology - anticipate, assess, adapt, and assist -
               offers a strategic approach for organisations to navigate climate-related

               challenges, ensure efficiencies and business continuity. Workforce resilience,
               robust infrastructure, and comprehensive early warning systems are essential
               components of this approach.
