Climate Risk into
Strategic Intelligence

How Unisys embedded TCFD-aligned climate intelligence into enterprise decision-making and met its SB 261 reporting obligations.

Client

Unisys

Regions

4 Global Regions

Framework

TCFD / SB 261

103 sites

Screened across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe & Middle East, and Latin America

4 pillars

Full TCFD coverage — governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics

4 scenarios

Physical and transition risks modelled across 2030 and 2050 time horizons

The Challenge

"What are our climate-related financial risks and how do we disclose them?"

Complex data.
Regulatory deadline.
No clear path.

California's SB 261 required Unisys to prepare a TCFD/ISSB-aligned climate risk report. The data existed, but it was fragmented across systems, unquantified, and disconnected from the business.

Translating scattered data into a coherent, audit-ready disclosure while embedding it into enterprise risk management required both deep climate science and strategic business acumen.

Unisys needed to:

Assess physical risks - floods, wildfires, heatwaves, cyclones, drought, and earthquakes - across global operations

Evaluate transition risks including regulatory shifts, carbon pricing, and client procurement changes

Quantify financial exposure linked to climate hazards across revenue, costs, and asset values

Integrate findings into enterprise risk management and long-term strategy

Deliver a publication-ready TCFD disclosure aligned with SB 261 requirements

Client Perspective

"ecoPRISM has been a strategic partner in our climate risk assessment, bringing a rigorous, structured approach and deep climate expertise. Their work has helped translate complex climate risks into clear, decision-ready insights that continue to inform internal discussions and next-step actions."

The Solution

End-to-end TCFD assessment,connected to business strategy

ecoPRISM conducted a comprehensive climate risk assessment connecting climate science directly to Unisys's operations, risk register, and long-term planning.

What This Delivers

A clearer path from climate risk analysis to decision-ready action — structured for risk leaders, finance teams, and board-level reporting.

Physical Risk Mapping

High-resolution geospatial hazard data across all global sites under low-emissions (SSP1-2.6) and high-emissions (SSP5-8.5) scenarios for 2030 and 2050.

Transition Risk Analysis

Policy, regulatory, carbon pricing, technology, market, and reputational risks modelled under NGFS Net Zero 2050 and Delayed Transition scenarios.

Financial Impact Quantification

Climate hazards linked to revenue exposure, operational cost impacts, and asset value implications — making risk tangible for finance and leadership teams.

ERM Integration

All climate risks mapped to Unisys's existing Enterprise Risk Register, with residual risk scores calculated after evaluating existing controls.

Adaptation Roadmaps

Tailored adaptation and mitigation roadmaps developed for business-critical sites, giving operational teams clear next steps.

Publication-Ready Disclosure

TCFD report covering all four pillars — governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics — aligned with SB 261 and ready for regulators and the boardroom.

Looking Ahead

The foundation is set. The next chapter begins.

The TCFD climate risk report was not the end of the journey — it was the foundation for a deeper strategic partnership.

Building on this work, ecoPRISM and Unisys have agreed to partner on CSRD readiness, with a Double Materiality Assessment planned to identify and prioritise the sustainability topics that matter most to the business and its stakeholders.

SB 261 Climate Risk Disclosure

TCFD-aligned report covering 103 sites across four global regions with physical and transition risks assessed under four climate scenarios.

ERM Integration

Climate risks embedded into enterprise risk management framework with residual risk scoring.

CSRD Readiness

Double Materiality Assessment underway to identify and prioritise ESG topics across the value chain.
