Acclimatise

How is it social?

Acclimatise helps companies develop a better response to climate change, educating them about the risks global warming poses to their business model and the costs that might ensue. It also provides practical advice on business opportunities available to those who have analysed the impacts of climate change. It aims to 'bridge the gap' between the worlds of business and science. The company has published several reports, including one highlighting the financial risks of climate change.

What is its business model?

Acclimatise specialises in climate change risk management.

Acclimatise describes itself as a "market leading advisory firm, with a portfolio of tools that enable your business to adapt to a changing climate. Whether it is reviewing regulatory or government policy, stakeholder positions, or guiding you on the business and financial threats and opportunities that stem from climate change, our network of specialists can bridge the gap between the urgent need to adapt and the business requirements of the corporate and commercial worlds. Our expertise is far-reaching."

 The company has provided strategic and project-specific climate change advice to the private, political and public sectors, and is working closely with governments, helping them to develop their climate change policies.

Acclimatise is a member of the UK Social Investment Forum, working with others to promote socially responsible investment. It is also a member of the CLIFFS network, an EPSRC-funded group which aims to improve forecasting of erosion and landslides in the context of progressive climate change.
