Benchmark Gensuite Launches Science-Based Climate Risk Management Solution in Partnership with GIST Impact

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Benchmark Gensuite, a pioneer in digital solutions for EHS, Quality, Sustainability, and ESG, today announced the launch of its Sustainability and Climate Risk Management Solution, a powerful, integrated offering designed to help enterprises identify, quantify, and mitigate climate-related risks across global operations and supply chains.

Powered by GIST Impact, a global leader in natural capital data and analytics, the solution supports regulatory alignment with CSRD, TNFD, IFRS S2, CDP, and the EU Taxonomy.

This advanced offering enables organizations to assess physical and transition risks using over 18 climate risk layers and more than 3 million mapped assets. It draws on science-based data from globally trusted sources, including NASA, NOAA, and WRI. The platform empowers users to visualize risk distribution, generate site-specific scores, and design mitigation strategies—all within an enterprise-ready software and data-as-a-service model.

Key Features of the Climate Risk Management Solution

• Geospatial views of global or regional assets to illustrate risk distribution
• Asset-level geospatial risk analysis
• Scenario-based forward risk modeling using IPCC, IEA, and NGFS pathways
• Dynamic risk scoring and weighting based on exposure, vulnerability, and capital value at risk, including heat mapping to rank and communicate risk issues
