Turning Climate Risks
into Business Opportunities

Health begins with the air we breathe, the water we drink, the plants we eat, bearable temperatures, and peaceful coexistence. All of these life foundations are in danger, and none of them will get better on their own. We don't need to save „the climate“ – we need to save ourselves!

Companies that invest in sustainable transformation today not only secure their own future viability but also unlock new business potential. Transformation is not a cost factor, but a business case.

Climate change is not a distant threat, but a current challenge – and at the same time, an opportunity to create resilient solutions together that protect people, businesses, and our environment.

Climate adaptation deals with current problem symptoms, while climate mitigation addresses long-term root causes. Understanding the consequences of their different natures, as well as managing potential conflicting demands, is key to successfully integrating corporate climate adaptation and mitigation measures.

The time to act is now! Adapting to climate change is not just an option, but an urgent necessity to protect our society, economy, and planet for future generations. Every day of postponement brings us closer to irreversible damage – we must act immediately to secure a sustainable and resilient future.

In a world already affected by the impacts of climate change, we must urgently develop sustainable strategies to make our business more resilient.

At LIXIL, we believe climate adaptation starts with innovation, both in product innovation and in our own manufacturing processes. As our products touch the lives of more than a billion people every day, LIXIL has a unique responsibility in creating an adaptive and resilient future.

Given the increasing physical climate risks, adaptation must be brought more into focus – and this requires close cooperation between business, politics, and the financial sector.

Catalyzing private capital into adaptation solution investments will remain unattractive until climate risk is correctly priced, policy distortions are removed, and expectation lags are shortened. Overcoming these barriers is the task of creating adaptation markets and, more broadly, economies.
