Zurich Insurance Group’s commercial risk advisory and services division Zurich Resilience Solutions has formed a strategic alliance with KPMG Switzerland to offer climate change advisory services.
Comprising physical and transition risks linked to climate change, the services will be offered in Switzerland in the initial stage.
Subsequently, Zurich and KPMG will make the offering available in other markets in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe.
The latest product merges the physical risk assessment capabilities of Zurich Resilience Solutions with KPMG’s transition risk assessment.
It will facilitate enterprises to better detect and handle their exposures while bolstering physical and operational resilience.
The integrated offering will also deliver a tailored climate scenario assessment to detect material exposures and evaluate financial outcomes across the complete value chain.
