Companies are facing worsening climate-related risks that challenge infrastructure and operations, workforce health, supply chains, and overall competitiveness. In 2025, C2ES and Resilience First convened the Corporate Climate Resilience Foresight Series, engaging senior leaders from two dozen global companies to examine how organizations can build climate resilience across systems, not just single facilities.
This webinar launches the publication Building Corporate Climate Resilience: Key Insights from the 2025 Corporate Climate Resilience Foresight Series and distills it into main findings and proposes actions for corporate leaders across different roles that can help build their climate resilience. Speakers will explore how internal governance structures can enable resilience, and where external drivers—such as investors, regulators, customers, and insurers—can enhance the business case for integrating climate resilience across business functions. Participants will also hear examples of how companies are integrating climate risk into workforce protection and community partnerships.
