Impact Areas Risks (due to CC impacts) Adaptation op tions Buildings / Infrastructure
• Facilities and premises flooded • Stocks under water
• Adapting the pavement at the entrance • Integrating flood barriers
Processes • Disruption in water supply• Power cuts & overheating of fridges
• Integrating sustainable water management system, new recycling plant
• Awareness raising of employees (water)• New insulation materials
Logistics and Stock
• Decreasing available fish stocks • Disruption in logistics & supply chain (blocked
roads during floodings)
• Supplier diversification for fish exports to Europe & product diversification for canned food
• Support suppliers with weather alert system
Employees & Communities
• Deterioration of working conditions & decrease in productivity during heat waves
• Include more green spaces at the company premises
• Optimise indoor ventilation
Government & regulations
• Stricter regulations on environmental issues• Increased water prices
• Monitoring system on environmental regulations
Market • Higher constraints and requirements from international clients on climate and environmental issues
• CSR reporting
Finance • Higher requirements from banks in terms of climate issues
• New financing opportunities

Two ideas for the financing challenge
Water is a crucial adaptation issue for industries as droughts and heat waves
are critical incidents for companies
-> Why not establishing credit lines for SMEs that are rel ated on water
efficiency (cost saving approach)?
In order to distinguish adaptation additionality for Financial Insitutions
-> Why not integrating certificated CC Risk (vulnerabil ity) assessment
approaches for companies as basis for special adaptation cr edits/
grants?
