Schneider Electric Launches Platform to Quantify Physical Climate Risk Across 28 Hazards

Schneider Electric's SE Advisory Services has launched Resource Advisor+ for Climate Risk, a new solution designed to help companies assess and manage exposure to physical climate hazards across their operations, assets and supply chains. The platform provides analytics covering 28 physical climate hazards and 7 biodiversity indicators, translating physical risk into quantified financial impact estimates.

Resource Advisor+ for Climate Risk forms part of SE Advisory Services' broader AI-powered energy and sustainability intelligence platform, which was launched earlier this year with tools for managing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and engaging suppliers on decarbonisation. Key features include capabilities to model immediate vulnerabilities and long-term financial impacts, tailored adaptation recommendations ranked by risk reduction, cost and implementation timeline, and enterprise integration designed to connect climate risk data with operational decision-making. The solution aims to give companies visibility into which assets and suppliers face the highest physical climate exposure.

Physical climate risk assessment is becoming a compliance and disclosure requirement for companies under frameworks including IFRS S2, the EU's CSRD and the TCFD recommendations, which are referenced in India's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report requirements. The ability to quantify financial impacts of physical hazards — such as heat stress, flooding and water scarcity — is increasingly demanded by investors and lenders as part of climate-related financial disclosure. For Indian companies operating in climate-vulnerable sectors including agriculture, infrastructure and energy, granular physical risk modelling tools provide critical input for transition planning and resilience investment decisions.

SE Advisory Services' Julien Picaud stated that organisations need climate risk information that is 'reliable, connected, and aligned with the decisions that shape long-term performance.' The solution's enterprise integration capabilities and audit-ready data quality are designed to support regulatory reporting as well as internal risk management. As Indian regulators and the Securities and Exchange Board of India continue to develop domestic climate disclosure requirements, solutions that translate physical hazard data into financial metrics are likely to find growing demand among Indian listed companies and financial institutions.
