Understand exposure before choosing a response

Climate Risk Analysis for Queensland and Regional Australian Businesses

Has your board, lender, insurer or reporting adviser asked how climate risks could affect your operations? Aethiro identifies the risks to your sites, assets and supply chain, then gives you a practical assessment your business can use to decide what needs attention.

Clear scope, documented assumptions and practical priorities. Detailed scenario analysis is scoped separately when required.

Make climate exposure usable for decisions

For Queensland mining, agriculture and industrial businesses, physical risks can include heat, flooding, cyclones, drought and disruption to transport or water supply. Transition risks can arise from policy, technology, energy costs and changing customer requirements.

We connect these exposures to your assets, operating dependencies and planning horizons. The output supports board, management and lender discussions without promising outcomes controlled by an insurer or finance provider.

Four outputs to support the next decision

Site and asset exposure register

A documented view of locations, assets and operating dependencies that may be exposed to climate hazards.

Physical and transition risk assessment

Risks prioritised against the agreed business context, with the basis for the assessment and material uncertainties recorded.

Scenario assumptions

Relevant pathways, time horizons, sources and limitations documented at a level appropriate to the engagement.

Prioritised resilience actions

Practical next steps, information gaps and responsibilities for further investigation or management review.

Start with the level of assessment you actually need

Initial identification and prioritisation

A review of available information and a discussion with your team to identify exposures, dependencies and priorities. Useful for early management decisions and defining further work.

Detailed scenario-analysis support

A separately defined engagement aligned to reporting needs, evidence and analytical capability. Specialist hazard modelling, valuation or engineering input may be required and is not assumed to be included.

How the engagement works

  1. Define the decision

    Agree the assets, locations, time horizons, intended use and level of analysis.

  2. Assess available evidence

    Review exposure and business dependencies, discuss assumptions and record uncertainties.

  3. Review actions and gaps

    Present findings and agree what needs management action, specialist input or further analysis.

Bring the operating context

Start with site locations, asset and infrastructure lists, supply-chain dependencies, business plans and known disruptions. Existing risk registers, insurance information and lender or reporting requests help define the scope. We support regional Queensland and Australia-wide engagements from Gladstone.

When reporting is part of the request

A climate risk assessment can also support governance, strategy and risk-management disclosures. If mandatory Australian reporting applies, AASB S2 Reporting Support connects this work to the wider reporting process.

Will the assessment improve insurance or finance terms?

It supplies documented risk information and proposed actions. Insurers and lenders make their own decisions; premium reductions or better financing terms are not promised.

Get clear on the decision you need to make

Tell us which sites or decisions are in scope and who needs the findings. We will distinguish an initial risk review from any more detailed reporting or scenario-analysis work.
