Launch of Gensuite and GIST Impact's joint platform for managing climate risks, based on scientific data.
Benchmark Gensuite, in collaboration with GIST Impact, has unveiled a groundbreaking Sustainability and Climate Risk Management Solution. This advanced, integrated software offering is designed to help enterprises identify, quantify, and mitigate climate-related risks across their global operations and supply chains.
The solution leverages science-based data and industry best practices to move organizations beyond mere compliance into proactive climate risk management. It provides a holistic, enterprise-ready solution that bridges sustainability strategy with actionable insights and technology, creating tangible business value in climate risk management.
Key features of the solution include geospatial risk mapping, dynamic scoring and heat mapping, scenario modeling, mitigation planning, compliance integration, executive dashboards, and more. Geospatial risk analysis offers visualizations of global or regional assets to illustrate risk distribution with asset-level geospatial risk mapping. Dynamic risk scoring and heatmapping scores and weights risks based on exposure, vulnerability, and capital value at risk, helping prioritize and communicate risk issues effectively.
Scenario Modeling uses IPCC, IEA, and NGFS climate pathways for future risk forecasts. This feature enables better risk visualization and prioritization across operations and supply chains, empowering companies to focus their resources on the most critical vulnerabilities. Mitigation planning tools include tools for designing mitigation strategies with stakeholder-ready visualizations and outputs.
The solution also supports next-generation regulatory compliance by aligning with emerging sustainability reporting standards, streamlining reporting processes and reducing administrative burden. Built-in reporting supports compliance with frameworks such as CSRD, TNFD, IFRS S2, CDP, and the EU Taxonomy. Compliance Integration includes embedded reporting aligned with these standards.
The solution equips organizations with science-backed risk intelligence drawing on authoritative sources like NASA, NOAA, and the World Resources Institute, ensuring high-quality and credible data. It aims to help organizations make data-driven decisions to build climate resilience.
Executive Dashboards provide real-time decision support for sustainability, finance, insurance, and operations leaders. Mitigation Planning offers stakeholder-ready visualizations and tools to design and track corrective actions. The solution supports future-proofing investments through scenario testing, business continuity, and transition strategy.
Peter Walsh, Senior Director of Sustainability and ESG Digital Solutions at Benchmark Gensuite, emphasized that the product merges science, technology, and business needs, enabling companies to transition from compliance-focused approaches to proactive, data-driven climate risk management. The solution builds adaptive capacity and long-term business resilience in a fast-changing climate landscape.
In summary, the Sustainability and Climate Risk Management Solution offers a comprehensive approach to climate risk management, combining machine learning-based estimation, scientific validation, and expert analysis to provide full climate risk intelligence across the value chain. It is an essential tool for any organization seeking to navigate the complexities of climate risk and build a resilient future.
The Sustainability and Climate Risk Management Solution utilizes science-based data, including that from NASA, NOAA, and the World Resources Institute, to aid businesses in making data-driven decisions for climate resilience.
