Question Id: E1-1_13
Our approach to resilience analysis consists of two main components: assessing and managing transition risks and opportunities, and conducting physical climate risk assessments. Transition risks stem from a shift to a low-carbon economy and encompass factors such as new regulations, technological innovation, changing market dynamics, and shifting consumer preferences. We have effectively mitigated these risks by transforming our business model from fossil fuels to renewable energy, aligning our operations with a 1.5 °C climate trajectory. This proactive shift has positioned us well to capitalise on the increasing demand for renewable energy deployment.

In 2024, we have continued to advance our portfolio of nature-based carbon removal projects by planting approximately 40 million propagules in the Gambia, equivalent to around 4,000 hectares, thereby contributing further to the restoration of vital ecosystems and mitigating climate change. The project is in partnership with the Gambia Department of Parks & Wildlife Management and three local NGOs to restore mangrove populations. To ensure carbon credits contribute meaningfully to climate action, they must meet additionality, i.e. that the project would not occur without financial support, and permanence, i.e. that the mangroves remain intact. We actively support the Gambia project with a dedicated team and financial backing. Though resource-intensive and time-consuming as mangroves mature, this approach ensures project integrity.
