Climate and Physical Risk Assessment for Operational Resilience.

Assess physical risk and territorial dependencies that can disrupt facilities, supply chains and operations.

For teams responsible for operations, continuity and critical locations.

  • Operations
  • Risk
  • Business continuity
  • Supply Chain / Logistics
  • Strategy

The site can look safe. The operation may not be.

Our Territorial Exposure Assessment brings a reading on climate and pysical risks, infrastructure, logistics and supply-chain exposure, to enhance operational resilience and business continuity.

The analysis doesn't only cover the plot, it covers:

  • Services
  • Roads
  • Access
  • Energy
  • Water
  • Logistics
  • Suppliers
  • Infrastructure
  • Workforce
  • Clients

One Report. Multiple Goals

Identify critical points

With our territorial view, we locate and help you address the breaking points on your supply chain.

Mitigate disruption risks

A data-driven study on risks helps you make decisions to reduce the likelihood of interruption.

Enhance resilience

The full graded picture and the report scoring results help address vulnerabilities to ensure operational resilience.

Make data-based decisions

Relevant business decisions like new investments or relocations can be taken based on official data and territorial intelligence.

Maintain competitiveness

Ensure keeping your positioning in your sector by getting ahead of the risks that can diminish your business delivery.

TEAM — Territorial Exposure Assessment Method

A structured screen of what can stop the operation.

TEAM grades each critical dependency for hazard exposure, operational impact and adaptive capacity — then assigns a management priority. Built for capital and continuity decisions, not as a scientific hazard index.

01

Exposure

Map the facility and the network it depends on — suppliers, warehouses, routes, services, workforce access, clients. Overlay official hazard and physical-climate information.

02

Capacity

A structured workshop with Ops, Risk and Supply Chain weighs criticality, alternatives and the nature of the business — with a short rationale recorded for each material rating.

03

Impact

For each material dependency, rate the operational effect: disrupt, slow, or limited impact on continuity. Based on workshop information.

04

Priority

Convert the rating into one of four management postures: Monitor, Plan, Prioritise, or Act — so the board knows what to fund, defer or do now.

What TEAM uses

  • Facility and dependency inventory
  • Official hazard / physical-climate layers
  • Workshop judgment with documented rationale
  • Business constraints (what relocation or redundancy can and cannot solve)

Engagement depth

  • Focus — one site or critical corridor; short workshop; priority register
  • Wide angle — one site with an extended view; door-to-door study of Tier 1 actors
  • Portfolio — several locations; comparative ranking; capital sequence

What you receive

A report built from the data you share and the priorities TEAM sets.

One document Ops, Risk and Strategy can open together — grounded in the mapped network, the workshop and the graded ratings.

  • Hazard relevance brief — which hazards matter for your company, and why.
  • Dependency catalog — critical dependencies affected by each hazard, with suggested actions matched to the nature of the business.
  • Management postures — every material dependency graded Monitor, Plan, Prioritise or Act.

Every material dependency receives one of four management postures.

Monitor

Keep the exposure in view and respond after an event.

Plan

Address it in a later investment cycle.

Prioritise

Prepare and schedule action, including lined-up alternatives.

Act immediately

Single-point or unacceptable exposure. Act now.

The report sequences where attention should go first. It does not replace detailed engineering, environmental modelling or legal due diligence — it shows where those are worth commissioning.

When the next decision depends on place.

Before a major investment

Before capital is committed to a site that has not been read outside the fence.

Across a portfolio

To see which locations and dependencies deserve attention first.

After a near-miss

When access, power or logistics almost failed and the plot map still looked clean.

Who do we help.

The territorial exposure service supports the work of a wide variety of teams within the public and private sectors.

From the insights

How can climate-related events affect supply chain management?

Climate-related events affect supply chains at the joints: lost access to sites, forced rerouting of critical goods, suppliers that cannot ship, and manufacturing that slows or stops.
