Support pédagogique LRA · Non publié ni approuvé par European Commission
Objet de l’information
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how resilient its business model and strategy are when climate change is considered over time. In practice, that means describing whether the organisation has thought through how different climate-related conditions could affect its ability to operate, invest, and deliver its plans, and what that means for the long term.
The practical focus is on the organisation’s own assessment of resilience, not just a statement about a few well-performing sites or a flagship location. It should cover the parts of the business that matter to the overall strategy and operations, so readers can see whether the conclusion reflects the organisation as a whole rather than a limited sample.

| Long-term adaptation capacity | Describe the organisation’s ability to adapt over the long term, including structural changes, strategic options and enduring constraints relevant to that horizon. | Long-range strategy, scenario planning outputs, investment plans, and board papers covering long-horizon resilience. | Strategy / climate risk |
Comment le préparer
Demander les données
Request climate resilience evidence from Strategy / Risk
Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.
How has the business tested whether its current plan and operating model can cope with climate-related change over time, and what did that testing show?
Use your organisation’s own language first (for example, your planning cycles, risk review process, scenario work, adaptation planning, or business continuity terms), then map the outputs to the disclosure points. Keep the ask practical and evidence-led; do not use framework wording unless that is already how your teams talk internally.
Demande faible
Please provide the ESRS E1-3 resilience disclosure evidence, including the results of the climate resilience analysis, implications for strategy and business model, scenario analysis response, transition plan contribution to resilience, uncertainties, and adaptation capacity over short, medium and long term.
Pourquoi elle échoue : It uses framework language that many teams will not recognise, so the owner may not know which internal papers or outputs to pull. It also bundles several ideas without pointing to the business documents, review forums, or planning artefacts that actually hold the evidence.
Meilleure demande
Please send the latest internal materials that show how the business tested climate-related resilience, what those tests mean for the plan and operating model, any scenario-based response work, how the transition plan helps resilience, where the main uncertainties remain, and how adaptation looks across the short, medium and long term. Include the source deck, model, tracker, or minutes, plus the owner and date.

Préparation à l’assurance
Pour chaque affirmation, vérifiez les preuves
| Affirmation | Risque | Preuves à vérifier |
|---|---|---|
| We based the coverage figure on the climate risks we had already flagged as material, and we checked that the same boundary was used when looking at the wider implications for the business model and strategy. | An assurer may test whether the scope was set consistently, or whether the team left out relevant parts of the business or used a different boundary from the risk assessment. | Boundary paper for the analysis; link to the material risk assessment; mapping showing which entities, sites or activities were included; review notes confirming the same scope was used across the disclosure. |
| We used the latest risk assessment available at the reporting date, and we refreshed the analysis where the earlier assessment had been updated. | The assurer may probe whether the disclosure reflects the most recent assessment or relies on an out-of-date version. | Version history of the risk assessment; dated working papers; sign-off pack showing the update was incorporated before publication; change log explaining what was refreshed. |
| We looked at the disclosed operations over the short, medium and long term, so the figure reflects how the business could adjust over different time horizons. | The assurer may ask whether the time horizons were actually considered, or whether the analysis only covered one period and was then generalised. | Scenario or resilience workpapers showing the three time horizons; internal guidance on horizon selection; management review notes; final draft showing the horizon references used in the published text. |
| We assessed how current and planned climate actions, including the transition programme and adaptation measures, feed into resilience, rather than treating them as separate workstreams. | The assurer may challenge whether the actions were genuinely linked to resilience, or whether the disclosure simply listed initiatives without showing their effect. | Action tracker; transition programme documents; adaptation plan; cross-reference table linking actions to risk reduction or resilience outcomes; evidence of internal challenge on the linkage. |
| We documented the main uncertainties in the assessment, including where the evidence was less certain or assumptions had a wider range. | The assurer may test whether the uncertainty was clearly identified, or whether key judgement areas were left out. | Assumption log; sensitivity analysis; uncertainty register; meeting minutes showing discussion of judgement areas; draft-to-final comparison showing the uncertainties were retained in the published version. |
| We kept evidence showing how the analysis was built from scenario outputs into the final narrative, and we checked the figures and wording before issue. | The assurer may probe whether the published statement is supported by the underlying scenario work and whether basic review checks were performed before release. | Scenario analysis outputs; reconciliation from model results to the disclosure text; internal review checklist; evidence of numerical and narrative checks; approval records from the final publication stage. |

Synthétiques, rédigés par LRA — ils ne proviennent ni d’un rapport d’entreprise ni du texte d’une norme.
We used climate scenario work to test how our assets, supply chain and customer service would hold up under hotter summers, more flooding and tighter policy settings, and the results show that our current plan remains workable but needs extra investment in network hardening and flexible generation. - Those findings changed our medium-term capital allocation, our site design standards and our fuel mix assumptions, and our transition plan now includes resilience actions that support the business case for those changes. - The main areas where judgement remains open are the pace of policy change, the cost and timing of grid upgrades, and the extent to which extreme weather could disrupt maintenance windows; we judge our ability to cope as strong over the next 12 months, moderate over the next 3–5 years, and dependent on further adaptation measures over the longer horizon.
This synthetic example shows how to explain the outcome of climate scenario work, the knock-on effects for strategy and operating model, the way the transition plan supports resilience, the main uncertainties left open, and a plain-language view of adaptation strength across short, medium and long horizons.
Our scenario review indicates that water stress, heatwaves and supply interruptions could affect raw material availability and plant throughput, so we have adjusted sourcing, storage and process cooling plans to keep the company viable under those conditions. - In response, we have reworked our product mix, supplier contracts and site investment programme, and the transition plan now helps fund measures that make those changes more robust. - The biggest unknowns are regional water regulation, crop yield volatility and the speed at which suppliers can adapt; we assess our current ability to respond as adequate in the short term, improving in the middle period, and still requiring further upgrades over the long term.
This synthetic example shows how to describe the practical outcome of scenario work, the implications for strategy and the business model, how the transition plan contributes to resilience, where uncertainty remains, and how adaptation capacity can be described over three time horizons without using the standard’s wording.

Scénarios à travailler
A manufacturer has run a climate stress test showing that repeated heatwaves could reduce output at one site and raise cooling costs, while a second site is less exposed. The draft report currently lists the test result but does not explain what it means for the group’s operating model.
A utility group has used several climate scenarios, but one of them gives very different results depending on assumptions about regulation, technology costs and customer behaviour. The team is unsure whether to mention that uncertainty because the figures are still being refined.
A food producer has a transition plan covering energy efficiency, electrification and supplier changes. Management believes the plan will also help the business cope with drought and supply disruption, but the draft only describes emissions reductions and omits any link to resilience.
A property group has assessed resilience over the near, middle and longer horizons. The short-term view suggests manageable flood risk, but the longer-term view points to possible asset impairment and relocation costs; the team is tempted to summarise everything in one sentence to save space.

FAQ
Questions auxquelles cette page répond
Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the listed datapoints. Use the draft-output section to turn your notes into narrative, visuals and a content-index line.
The page points you to resilience analysis results, strategy and model impacts, scenario-based response, transition plan resilience, key uncertainty areas, and near-, mid- and long-term adaptation capacity. Use those headings as your data collection checklist before drafting.
Use the page’s step-by-step preparation guidance to define what is in scope, how the resilience analysis is being approached, and how scenario-based response is being assessed. Keep the method consistent with the datapoints you plan to disclose and document any key uncertainty areas.
The page is designed for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the person coordinating those inputs and evidence. Use the workbook to assign tasks and track who is responsible for each datapoint and evidence item.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items and six assurance claims to verify, each framed around claim, risk and evidence. Build the pack around the specific datapoints, the method used, and the supporting records that show how the disclosure was prepared.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so use that section as a pre-submission check. In practice, the main risk is leaving the disclosure too generic or failing to back up the resilience story with evidence and a clear method.
The downloadable workbook is there to help you organise preparation and assurance work in one place. Use it to capture the datapoints, assign ownership, track evidence, and check the six assurance claims before turning the material into a draft.
The page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table, to show how the disclosure can be written up. Treat it as a drafting aid only and adapt the structure and level of detail to your own data and evidence.
Use the draft-output section for visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. That section is meant to help you convert your prepared data into a readable draft without starting from a blank page.
The page has a 'From company reports' table that links to real published reports at the pages where the topic is disclosed. Use those links as practical reference points for style and presentation, not as a substitute for your own evidence.
