Risk exposure refers to the measured potential for damage or loss from a specific hazard at a given location. It combines the likelihood and severity of a hazard occurring.
A heatwave may affect several company sites, but Mitiga's EarthScan shows which ones have high risk exposure, meaning they face both frequent and intense heat, increasing the chance of operational disruption.
Exposure helps teams prioritise which locations or assets are at greatest climate risk. It’s a critical input in CVaR, (Climate Value at Risk), materiality assessments, and portfolio screening.
