Asset

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

An asset is a physical structure, such as a building, power plant, or data centre that can be assessed for exposure to climate risk. EarthScan uses location, function, and other attributes to model risk at the asset level.

Example in context

A real estate investor assessing climate risk across their commercial properties would treat each building as an asset. With EarthScan, they can upload a list of addresses and get risk insights for each one.

Why it matters

Climate risk varies by location and asset type. Asset-level analysis allows for more accurate assessments, especially for portfolios that span different geographies or sectors. It’s the foundation for meaningful reporting, planning, and adaptation.
