📊 JBA's recent partnership with Horváth gives the rapidly expanding, Stuttgart-based consultancy access to our high-quality, easy-to-use flood data, enabling them to provide their clients with insights into physical flood risk as part of risk sustainability reporting requirements. 💬 Judith Ellison, Head of Business Development, JBA Risk Management, said, "Our physical risk data supports the increasing global demand for compliance with regulatory-driven sustainability reporting frameworks. This includes the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in Europe, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in the UK and other regions, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards and other related frameworks. However, all businesses can benefit from embracing sustainability reporting as it helps them plan with greater confidence for the future – to understand both the opportunities and risks to their businesses from climate change.” Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/em4nPvr6 #Flood #FloodRisk #CSRD #TCFD #ISSB #SustainabilityReporting #RiskManagement #RiskModeling #RegulatoryCompliance
