This can make it harder for companies to effectively communicate how they are adapting to climate change. This contrasts with mitigation actions, such as greenhouse gas reduction goals or carbon offset policies, which have global and public benefits to society and are therefore easier to communicate as part of standard CSR strategies. Additionally, information regarding companies’ climate vulnerabilities may be sensitive, because it could indicate potential weaknesses to competitors or negatively affect competitiveness or market valuations, so companies may not publicise the climate risks they face or the actions they have taken to manage these risks.
