C-RAB - Earth Capital Nexus

Recent climate-related physical risks (including hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes) have exposed deep-rooted vulnerabilities across supply chains, infrastructure and financial systems. Existing best-in-class methodologies estimate a company’s risk profile based on the location of its physical assets and the structural makeup of those assets. Out of purview are the steps firms may have actually taken to address these risks. This invisibility gives an incomplete picture of company-level risk that prevents rewarding those who are planning for resilience.

Earth Capital Nexus has developed the Corporate Resilience Alignment Benchmark (C-RAB) as the first methodology to provide a more comprehensive view of how firms will be affected by climate change.

The methodology combines geospatial asset-level analysis with an analysis of a company’s disclosures to capture not only a company’s level of risk to climate change, but also what measures it has taken to address this risk. C-RAB thus enables users to identify firms in a given sector or portfolio that are outperforming their peers and who is lagging behind. The C-RAB methodology will be brought to life on ResilienceArc, an open-access platform, in June 2026. The platform will include an initial analysis of 250 companies, before expanding further.
