Client’s problem

The client has established a new division for supporting their B2B customers with climate risk mitigation solutions, as it is a rapidly growing area. However, assessing potential solutions was outside their comfort zone. Faced with the complexity of storm and flood-related risks, they needed expert insight to make sense of the diverse threat types, industry exposures, and asset vulnerabilities, which are critical factors in identifying the right solutions with confidence. The client needed independent support from CamIn to design an intuitive filterable tool of vetted vendors, which the client can use to advise their B2B customers.

CamIn’s solution

Key questions answered

What are the key customer criteria when investing into risk mitigation solutions for storms and floods?
What vendors and cutting-edge solutions exist globally that cater to specific industries and assets in the relevant markets?
What are key scenarios in which this tool would be highly valuable to use when advising the customers?

‍

Our Approach

500	Created a long-list of ~500 potential vendors that provide storm and flood risk mitigation solutions and fulfilled client’s basic KPIs.
21	Based on client and expert workshops, created a list of 21 KPIs that are important for the industrial end-user to select the suitable vendors given the specific situation.
44	From the long-list, 44 vendors were short-listed as credible, based on the specific KPIs (e.g. credibility such as past pilots and specific deployment parameters such as flood depth).
1	Developed one proof-of-concept tool that can provide to industrial customers the exact vendors to use for flood and storm mitigation, given the exact circumstances.

‍

Results and Impact

CamIn developed an intuitive, filterable tool using 21 filtration KPIs for 44 vetted vendors.

The client is now using insights from the tool as part of its enhanced climate risk advisory offer with major institutional clients.

CamIn has enabled the client to tap into a $6 billion market for climate risk services with a cutting-edge understanding of the available solutions.

Example Outputs

What is climate risk mitigation?

Climate risk mitigation refers to the strategies, technologies, and actions taken to reduce exposure to the physicaland liability risks associated with climate change. In practice, this includes defending assets against extreme weatherevents, such as floods and storms, as well as aligning business operations with evolving climate regulations and stakeholder expectations. For financial institutions, mitigation is both a risk management imperative and a route to unlockingnew value through client advisory and green product innovation.

‍

Why is climate risk mitigation important for the financial sector?

The financial sector faces growing exposure to climate-linked losses, both directly through physical asset investments and indirectly through their B2B clients' vulnerabilities. As regulatory scrutiny increases (e.g. through TCFD, ISSB,EU Taxonomy), and extreme weather events become more frequent, banks must proactively manage climate risk. Doing so protects asset values, enhances capital allocation decisions, and enables the development of differentiated sustainability advisory services, especially for high-exposure industries like construction, agriculture, retail, and utilities.

‍

What impact will climate risk mitigation strategies have on the financial sector?

Climate risk mitigation strategies are reshaping how banks assess value and risk. They are accelerating the shift from reactive insurance coverage to proactive prevention, via investments in physical resilience technologies and climate advisory tools. This transformation enables banks and financial institutions to:

Deepen client engagement through tailored resilience planning
Reduce long-term credit and investment risk
Enter new markets for climate advisory and ESG-aligned financing
Comply with ESG and sustainability disclosure regulations
Contribute credibly to net-zero and adaptation goals

‍

What technologies are emerging to protect against storms and floods?

A new generation of commercially available storm and flood mitigation technologies is now accessible to industrial clients. Key solution types include:

Deployable flood barriers and modular levees: Portable systems that can be installed rapidly to protect infrastructure during storm surges or river flooding.
Permeable paving and engineered drainage: Urban water management solutions that reduce surface runoff and urban flash flooding.
Elevated platform systems: Retrofitting solutions that raise critical equipment or facilities above projected flood levels.
IoT-based early warning and response systems: Real-time monitoring platforms that detect rising water levels or storm indicators, triggering automated alerts and interventions.
Stormwater storage and redirection technologies: Includes underground retention tanks, bioswales, and flow dividers to channel excess water away from vulnerable assets.

‍

These technologies are increasingly being integrated into financial sector advisory tools to help institutional clients make fast, evidence-based resilience investments.
