About this episode

The episode discusses how Allianz evaluates climate risk in supply chains and the role of circular strategies in enhancing resilience.

How does climate risk exposure connect to supply chain decisions, and where does circularity come in? Michael Bruch, Global Head of Risk Consulting Advisory Services, and Lena Fuldauer, Head of Resilience & Business Development at Allianz Risk Consulting, talk about how companies can assess climate risk across their locations and supply chains, and what role circular strategies play in strengthening supply chain resilience. What you'll hear in this episode: • How companies use location-level climate risk data to spot vulnerabilities within the supply chain and compare potential investment sites. • Why the most productive conversations happen when risk managers and sustainability teams work together. • How circular approaches like battery recycling reduce dependence on geopolitically concentrated raw materials. This episode opens the series Enabling Circularity Through Insurance. The series looks at the concrete levers insurance companies hold, from risk assessment and advisory services to product design and claims policies, and how these can enable circularity.
