Sustain 2050 is an Australian sustainability consultancy helping organisations turn climate resilience into a source of cost savings, stronger business models, and improved access to finance.

Sustain 2050’s mission is to help businesses thrive in a clean energy, climate-conscious economy, by translating complex climate data into practical insights for long-term value creation.

“We exist to make sustainability a business advantage, not just a compliance exercise.”
Ash Ranu, Chief Risk Officer, Sustain 2050

The challenge

Sustain 2050 works with organisations across Australia to help them prepare for a future shaped by climate change. Many of their clients manage large, diverse portfolios, sometimes thousands of assets, across multiple locations and sectors.

To deliver value, Sustain 2050 needed to go beyond broad assessments and provide asset-level climate intelligence with financial relevance. This presented 3 key challenges:

  • Scale: Analysing thousands of assets quickly and accurately was essential to keep up with client demands and project timelines.
  • Financial insight: Clients needed to understand not just exposure to hazards like floods or heatwaves, but the potential financial impact, including Climate Value at Risk (CVaR), to support investment decisions.
  • Integration: Insights had to be easily embedded into clients’ existing tools and workflows, enabling ongoing reporting and strategic planning without creating additional complexity.

Without a fast, reliable, and scalable solution, Sustain 2050 risked losing its competitive edge, and its clients risked making critical business decisions without the clarity they needed.

“Our clients can’t wait weeks for static reports. They need climate insights at scale, in formats they can use immediately.”Ash Ranu, Chief Risk Officer, Sustain 2050

How Sustain 2050 uses Mitiga's API

To meet the challenge of delivering fast, financial-grade climate insights at scale, Sustain 2050 integrated Mitiga’s EarthScan API into its core services.

Use case 1: Scaling climate risk assessments across thousands of assets

Sustain 2050 now uses the API to analyse large, complex portfolios in real time.

  • Assesses exposure to six major climate hazards, flooding, wind, drought, wildfire, heat stress, and extreme precipitation, at the asset level.
  • Supports simultaneous analysis of thousands of assets, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual assessments.
  • Delivers accurate, location-specific risk ratings for every site in minutes.
“Mitiga’s EarthScan API lets us go from manual, asset-by-asset assessments to instant, portfolio-wide intelligence.”

Use case 2: Turning climate data into financial insights

Beyond hazard exposure, Sustain 2050 leverages EarthScan’s Climate Value at Risk (CVaR) calculations to give clients actionable financial metrics.

  • Quantifies the potential financial impact of climate hazards based on each asset’s location, material, and structural characteristics.
  • Helps clients prioritise investments, justify adaptation measures, and unlock better access to finance by demonstrating climate resilience.
“CVaR turns abstract climate data into boardroom-ready insights our clients can act on.”

Use case 3: Seamless integration into client systems

API outputs integrate directly with client platforms like Power BI, enabling:

  • Automated reporting across business units and stakeholders.
  • Continuous monitoring of evolving risks without additional manual input.
  • Clear, actionable communication of climate risks across organisations.
“Integration is key, our clients get intelligence they can use immediately, without adding complexity to their workflows.”
