Accounting for Sustainability’s Essential Guide to Valuations and Climate Change

This five-step framework provides business valuators with guidance to embed climate change risks and opportunities into business valuations.

For investment and valuation communities, understanding and assessing the pervasive impacts of climate change is critical to determining the value of businesses and making sound investment underwriting decisions. That’s why the Canadian Chapter of the A4S CFO Leadership Network has developed a five-step framework to help investors and valuators incorporate climate change risks and opportunities into valuations. This framework—complemented by four cases studies—offers practical advice on increasing your consideration of climate change when making investment decisions and determining the value of businesses. 

Key takeaways: 

  • the potential financial impacts of actively addressing climate change 
  • a five-step valuation climate change network, from identification to triangulation
  • lenses to assess climate change risks and opportunities 
  • four appendices of additional data and resources
