Climate Risk Management built to price what the transition actually costs.
SYNE combines physical, transition and supply chain climate risk into a single portfolio-level view - scenario-tested against NGFS and IPCC pathways - so investors, corporates and insurers can quantify exposure before it shows up on the balance sheet.
From a single asset to a portfolio-wide exposure map.
SYNE's Climate Risk Management solution combines geospatial hazard data, scenario modelling, and financial quantification into one workflow - built for investors, corporates and insurers who need to act on exposure, not just report it.
Physical Risk Assessment
Acute hazards (floods, wildfires, cyclones, heat) and chronic hazards (sea-level rise, water stress) scored to the asset level.
Transition Risk Assessment
Policy, legal, market, technology and reputational risk scored across multiple carbon-price and regulatory pathways.
Supply Chain Climate Risk
Extends Supplier Ratings' continuity dimension to climate exposure across tier-1 and Nth-tier supplier locations.
Scenario Analysis & Stress Testing
NGFS orderly, disorderly and hot-house world scenarios, alongside IPCC RCP/SSP pathways, run against your portfolio.
Geospatial Hazard Mapping
Satellite and remote-sensing exposure mapping to the individual asset or facility, integrated with SYNE's Biomass Atlas.
Financial Quantification
Value-at-risk modelling, insured and uninsured loss estimates, and stranded-asset exposure in modelled dollar terms.
16 indicators. Four dimensions. One exposure view.
Every Climate Risk assessment is built from 16 indicators spread across Physical Risk, Transition Risk, Supply Chain Risk, and Financial Quantification - scenario-tested against NGFS and IPCC pathways and mapped to TCFD and ISSB (IFRS S2) disclosure categories.
Physical Risk
Direct exposure to acute and chronic climate hazards at the asset location.
- Acute Hazard Exposure (Floods, Wildfires, Cyclones, Heat)
- Chronic Hazard Exposure (Sea-Level Rise, Water Stress)
- Asset-Level Geospatial Scoring
- Insured & Uninsured Loss Modelling
Transition Risk
Exposure to policy, market and technology shifts on the path to a lower-carbon economy.
- Policy & Legal Exposure
- Market & Technology Disruption
- Carbon Price Sensitivity (Multiple Pathways)
- Reputational & Litigation Risk
Supply Chain Risk
Climate exposure inherited from suppliers, logistics routes and input dependencies.
- Supplier Physical Hazard Exposure
- Nth-Tier Concentration Risk
- Logistics & Trade Route Disruption
- Commodity & Input Price Volatility
Financial Quantification
Translating exposure across the other three dimensions into modelled financial terms.
- Value-at-Risk (VaR) Modelling
- Stranded Asset Exposure
- Insured & Uninsured Loss Estimates
- Scenario-Weighted Financial Impact
Built for anyone with capital exposed to a changing climate.
A climate risk assessment is only useful if it changes a decision - where to invest, what to insure, what to lend against, and at what price.
Investors & Asset Managers
Screen and stress-test portfolios for physical and transition exposure ahead of allocation decisions.
Corporates & Real Asset Owners
Understand facility- and site-level exposure to inform capital expenditure, insurance and resilience planning.
Insurers & Reinsurers
Price physical risk into underwriting decisions using the same geospatial hazard data behind every assessment.
Banks & Lenders
Assess collateral and counterparty exposure to physical and transition risk across a lending book.
Infrastructure & Real Estate Investors
Assess physical exposure across InvIT and REIT holdings where a single hazard event can affect asset value directly.
Governments & Regulators
Benchmark national and regional physical and transition exposure to inform adaptation policy and stress-test regimes.
Physical and transition risk don't show up on a balance sheet until they do.
Climate hazards and policy shifts are still routinely treated as tail risks - priced at zero until a flood, a heatwave, or a carbon price shock forces a write-down. By then the exposure has already been built into the portfolio, the lending book, or the site selection decision. Quantifying it in advance is the only way to price it, hedge it, or avoid it.
Why physical risk is still underpriced
Historical loss data lags a changing climate - hazard frequency and severity are shifting faster than most pricing models assume.
What it means for investors & lenders
Unpriced exposure eventually shows up as a stranded asset, an impaired loan, or an unhedged loss - quantifying it early keeps it a choice, not a surprise.
What it means for insurers
Granular, asset-level hazard data allows risk to be priced individually, instead of spreading it across an entire book at a flat rate.
What the assessment actually tells you
A scenario-tested, financially quantified view of exposure across physical, transition and supply chain risk - not a qualitative checklist.
What separates SYNE's Climate Risk Management from a checklist.
Four principles run through every assessment we deliver, from a single asset review to a full portfolio stress test.
Scenario-grounded
Built on NGFS climate scenarios and IPCC RCP/SSP pathways - not a single deterministic forecast presented as certainty.
Geospatially verified
Physical risk is scored from satellite and remote-sensing hazard data at the asset location, integrated with SYNE's Biomass Atlas.
Regulatory-grade independence
Aligned with TCFD, ISSB (IFRS S2) and the EU Taxonomy, and operating under the same independence standards as every SYNE Rating.
Connected to every SYNE product
Draws on the same emission factors, carbon intensity and supplier data licensed through SYNE Data and used across every SYNE Rating.
From exposure to a decision, in one workflow.
Climate Risk Management is delivered as a continuous process, not a one-off report - exposure is reassessed as portfolios change and scenarios evolve.
Exposure Mapping
Physical, transition and supply chain exposure mapped at the asset, facility or supplier location.
Scenario Testing
Exposure stress-tested against NGFS and IPCC scenarios, from orderly transition to hot-house world.
Financial Translation
Exposure translated into value-at-risk, insured loss, and stranded-asset terms your finance team can use directly.
Ongoing Reporting
Exposure re-assessed on a defined cycle and reported in formats aligned to TCFD and ISSB (IFRS S2) disclosure.
A Climate Risk Assessment is not a public rating.
A SYNE Rating is a published judgement about an entity. A Climate Risk Assessment is a private analytical tool built for your own portfolio, book, or asset base.
Analytics, not a judgement
The assessment doesn't produce a public AAA–D grade for an entity - it quantifies exposure for the client commissioning it, to inform an internal decision.
Private by default, always
Unlike SYNE's rating products, Climate Risk Assessments are never published without explicit request - they're built for internal use only.
4–8 weeks, scoped to portfolio size
Single-asset reviews can turn around in under two weeks; full portfolio stress tests typically run 4–8 weeks depending on asset count.
Feeds - and is fed by - SYNE Ratings
Carbon intensity, supplier and emissions data already licensed through SYNE Data can be reused directly, avoiding duplicate data collection.
Re-run as scenarios evolve
Assessments are designed to be re-run as NGFS scenarios update or as a portfolio's asset base changes, not treated as a one-time exercise.
Built for regulatory disclosure
Outputs map directly to TCFD and ISSB (IFRS S2) disclosure categories, and to EU Taxonomy climate risk criteria.
Geospatial hazard coverage across 71 countries.
Physical and transition risk exposure is modelled across every jurisdiction SYNE is licensed in, drawing on the same geospatial and macro-climate data behind SYNE's Carbon Ratings and ESG Data.
