2/3 of businesses face major water risk in their direct operations or in their supply chains. In 2020 alone, the total potential cost of reported water risks was more than $300 billion
Extreme heat events, like the Pacific-Northwest heat dome, are becoming more frequent, creating issues with yield, quality, labor, etc. The number of $1B disasters have increased 3x since 2020.

Around 5-20% of the EBIDTA of companies is impacted by weather volatility; leading companies are leveraging climate intelligence to turn this volatility into their competitive advantage.
Not all locations experience the same level or type of risk.
ClimateAi provides granular insights that help companies mitigate/avoid climate-related losses and even identify climate opportunities.
BUILD CLIMATE RESILIENCE WITH TAILORED INSIGHTS






As extreme weather and climate volatility continue to create increasing challenges for supply chains, the world’s leading food and agriculture companies are leveraging ClimateAi to secure their seats as market leaders for the years ahead. ClimateAi’s climate and water intelligence tools offer accurate, precise, and actionable, insights to inform critical supply chain decisions 1 day - 40 years out.
How Advanta leverages ClimateAi to turn risk into advantage
Production:
“If there's a heat wave, expected to coincide with flowering, we can alter our planting time to try and avoid that heat wave well in advance and therefore optimizing yield”
Sales and Marketing:
“ClimateAi forecast the region would see significant rainfall… As a result, we captured an additional 5-10%”
R&D:
“Where can we test products today that might already exhibit the climatic factors of the future so that we can have confidence that the products will work in the future?”
Beverage companies face increasing water and climate stress from 2020-30
Our analysis shows that 9 out of 15 breweries in Mexico owned by global brands such as Constellation, Femsa, and Modelo are suffering severe water stress now and over the coming decades.
ClimateAi helps beverage companies across the board identify at-risk locations, mitigation techniques, as well as locations that are suitable for current and future production, anywhere the world.

Read: Get the 2023 Guide to Water Risk
In this guide you will learn:
- What water risk is and which businesses are most at risk.
- How to properly evaluate water risk across your supply chain and take. action to mitigate risk when needed
- Common gaps in companies' approaches to water risk and the impacts of these shortcomings.
- How leading companies are mitigating water risk and even identifying opportunities.

Why some of the world’s leading food & agriculture companies are engaging with ClimateAi
- Gain visibility into both water and climate risk across your sites around the world over the next 40+ years
- Identify new, strategic locations with optimal climate & water for expansion opportunities
- Predict yield of core crops in key regions to inform sourcing and production decisions well in advance of the season
- Receive crop /asset-specific, extreme weather alerts for your specific location anywhere in the world (case study below)
ClimateAi has this platform to house their analytics and insights that I think goes much further than some of the other providers we saw. It very much goes beyond the ‘high-medium-low’ traffic light system of risk, which isn’t very actionable, and has a very transparent way of mapping the impacts they are flagging.
How The Wonderful Company Uses Climate Intelligence to Derisk it's Supply Chains
- Microcimate forecasts for ag-specific variables (e.g. frost or extreme heat), 2 weeks to 40 years out
- Yield forecasts incorporating critical crop stage-specific risks e.g. number of days over 100F during fruitset
- Financial outcome projections derived from business-specific context + yield forecasts enable robust, data-informed decisions (production siting, seasonal forecasts for smarter contracting, etc.)
