CONSIDERATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS IN ERM PROCESSES

Tang Lien, Managing Director and Founder, Nova Fusion, Kuala Lumpur

The physical risks of climate change are powerful and pervasive. The way companies report on climate risk takes on new significance as investors look to accurately assess and measure the environment’s impact on their business models and organisational preparedness to cope with these risks.

It is more important than ever that businesses lead in understanding and responding to these risks, and seizing the opportunities to build a stronger, more resilient and sustainable global economy.

Tang’s passion for design and content development is rivalled only by his passion for building blue ocean businesses. As Managing Director he drives the strategy, content and creative vision for Nova Fusion, championing a culture of innovation and creativity in corporate reporting, including annual reports, integrated reports and sustainability reports, both online and offline.
