Arc launches ResilienceArc

Coverage and key insights

• Coverage:
  • Assessment with all metrics covered: ~200 companies
  • Assets-only profiles: ~3,000 companies
• Number of assets: 2 million+
• Early insights
  • Higher exposure is not driving greater disclosure on resilience: Among the companies assessed, those with high exposure are no more likely to set out how they assess, prepare, and plan for the occurrence of hazardous climate events than companies with lower exposure.
  • Few companies have robust forward-looking commitments on climate resilience. For example, no company has a target for surface water flooding, a significant hazard for 9 in 10 companies.
  • Supply chain risk is a key vulnerability: Of the ~200 companies with all five metrics assessed, one third (34%) describe how they engage upstream with suppliers on physical risk, while less than 10% provide examples of engagement downstream.
  • Signals on resilience are beginning to emerge: Although overall scores are low, key elements of planning and processes are in place with over 90% of the sample conducting either risk or environmental impact assessments across their business units and operations.

Designed to support decision making across the real economy

ResilienceArc is built to support a wide range of decision makers across business, finance, and policy.

• For financial institutions and investors, it provides a common basis for assessing risks from, helping to improve comparability across companies and enabling more informed capital allocation towards adaptation and resilience-building measures.
• For companies, it offers a transparent and accessible way to benchmark performance—supporting organisations to better understand their exposure to physical climate risks and plan for the long-term.
• For policymakers and regulators, it establishes a shared framework for understanding the vulnerability of the private sector, supporting the development of more consistent approaches to adaptation and resilience planning. 

“The time has come to address the reality that is already here. Changes in climate are affecting us today and, unfortunately, their impacts will continue to intensify.  Yet, this is not a challenge that any one organisation, country, or individual can tackle alone. 

We are delighted to launch ResilienceArc, bringing together the very best insights and making them available in the public domain. Through transparency and access to information, we create opportunities for learning, challenge, and continuous improvement, supporting better-informed decisions and helping to build a more resilient future.” 

- Meryam Omi, Chief Executive Officer of Arc

Built for collaboration, designed to evolve

ResilienceArc has been developed in collaboration with leading partners, including Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics and Political Science, XDI (Cross Dependency Initiative), and Corporate Knights. 

The platform is intentionally open and collaborative—providing transparent access to methodologies, data sources and assumptions, while inviting users to test, challenge, and improve the tool over time. This approach reflects Arc’s belief that resilience information should function as public infrastructure: transparent, accessible, and continuously improved through collaboration. No single organisation can build the foundations needed for resilience investment alone; progress depends on shared evidence, trusted methodologies and collective stewardship.

"ResilienceArc represents an important step in understanding how companies are advancing their resilience to climate and other risks and contributing to societal resilience. At Earth Capital Nexus, we are excited to surface our Corporate Resilience Alignment Benchmark methodology on ResilienceArc to produce cutting-edge resilience data and pair this with geospatial insights. The combined analytics have the potential to drive better decisions, faster action and more investment, from corporates, investors and regulators alike. We’re delighted with this fantastic partnership with Arc and XDI to make these insights open to all.” 

 – Prof. Nicola Ranger, Exec Director, LSE Earth Capital Nexus

“Within this project we have thought deeply about how to quantify resilience to climate change within a context that captures the real-world impacts to damage and disruption to assets, critical infrastructure, supply chains and the local economy. With this Beta release of ResilienceArc we are showcasing cutting-edge methodologies for asset-level analysis that are cross-checked with disclosed information on adaptation planning. The ultimate aim is that we can provide an independent and transparent analysis of corporate climate physical risk, which fully reflects the effectiveness of adaptation plans, so that we can see if there is a path to resilience."   

– Dr. Karl Mallon, Co-Founder & CEO, XDI

As a sister platform to TransitionArc, ResilienceArc adds a critical resilience dimension to climate transition analysis. Together, the two platforms help build a more complete picture of how companies are navigating climate change — both through their contribution to the transition and their preparedness for physical climate impacts. By connecting these perspectives, Arc aims to strengthen the shared information foundations for investment and decision-making in a changing world. 

Now live and free to access

ResilienceArc is available globally and free to access online. Users can register and explore the platform from today at:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ResilienceArc?

ResilienceArc is a first-of-its-kind open tool that helps assess companies’ exposure to physical risks from climate change and supports more resilient business decisions.

It brings together the best available information about on-the-ground risks affecting the assets companies own, operate, and source from, alongside objective assessments of the adaptation measures they have disclosed. It is aimed to better understand what “good” business resilience looks like and how to act on it.

Currently in beta, ResilienceArc will continue to evolve as new data and feedback are integrated through user collaboration.

Why is it needed? 

Climate impacts are here. Extreme heat, floods, wildfires, droughts, and other climate-driven shocks are impacting communities and costs are rising around the world through broken supply chains and infrastructure, lost jobs, and livelihoods. 

Yet most decision makers are still faced with: 

1. Limited access to relevant risk assessments
2. Confusing approaches to adaptation measures
3. Barriers to investing in long-term resilience

These challenges make it difficult to scale coordinated resilience action. 

ResilienceArc aims to change that by providing decision makers with a foundation of resilience intelligence as a public good they can rely on.

What makes ResilienceArc different?

• Free and open to access - Built as a public good, ResilienceArc is philanthropically funded to provide open access data that empowers better decision-making on climate risk.
• Showing the full picture - While risk models show where a company is exposed, ResilienceArc reveals how well it is prepared. By assessing both physical climate risk exposure and the actions companies are taking to adapt, ResilienceArc provides a comprehensive view of a company’s resilience within a single framework.
• Grounded in combined expertise  – ResilienceArc was co-created with academic rigour through collaboration with Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics and Political Science and physical risk experts XDI (Cross Dependency Initiative), alongside wider engagement with partners, expert review, and end-user consultation.
• Connected and aligned -  ResilienceArc provides a complementary intelligence layer to connect into existing systems and tools. It builds on, established sustainability and disclosure frameworks for climate, nature, and resilience and it is built for interoperability to service a broad range of decision maker needs.
• Designed to evolve -  By combining an open methodology with transparency around its sources, assumptions, and gaps, and by allowing companies to directly verify their physical climate risks using the underlying data, ResilienceArc is built to evolve with its users through real-world application, expert scrutiny, and industry collaboration.

Who created ResilienceArc? 

ResilienceArc is a collaborative initiative created by Arc, Earth Capital Nexus at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and XDI (Cross Dependency Initiative). 

Who is ResilienceArc for? 

ResilienceArc was created to help decision makers make more informed and empowered decisions on resilience. It is for:

• Companies to better understand current and future risks and support long-term planning.
• Financial institutions that are managing growing climate risks across investments and supporting adaptive finance solutions.
• Policymakers and regulators to build national resilience while supporting businesses, jobs, and economic stability in a changing climate.

What do you mean by resilience?

Resilience is the ability to anticipate, withstand, adapt to, and recover from shocks, stresses, and changing conditions, both now and in the future. It applies at multiple levels, including countries, regions, communities, companies, and individuals.

ResilienceArc focuses on businesses because they are central to economic activity, employment, and investment, and because adaptation measures are urgently needed. As climate-related risks rise on corporate agendas, businesses increasingly need to incorporate these risks into their broader risk management and resilience assessment frameworks.

As a starting point, ResilienceArc focuses on resilience to the physical impacts of climate change. It helps assess how exposed and prepared companies are for climate-related hazards by examining factors such as asset locations, supply chain dependencies, and other operational characteristics. At the same time, the platform establishes a foundation for assessing broader dimensions of resilience over time.

In this context, resilience refers to a company's ability to withstand and recover from climate-related shocks and disruptions, while also planning, adapting, and investing to remain successful in a changing future. By providing objective and decision-useful information, ResilienceArc supports businesses, investors, and policymakers in identifying vulnerabilities, strengthening resilience, and directing investment toward effective adaptation solutions.

What levels of analysis can you see in ResilienceArc?

ResilienceArc provides insights on exposure and resilience at both individual company and sector levels. 

Company level: 

• Users can explore a company’s overall resilience at a high level (through the A-E scoring system) and access detailed assessments across key dimensions of exposure and resilience using five metrics: Assets, Implementation, Processes, Governance, and Targets.
• Users can also explore individual company physical risk profiles and examine their exposure to climate hazards through sub-metrics such as High Risk Assets and Revenue Impairment. 

Sector level: 

• Companies are grouped across 11 sectors. Users can compare performance, identify leaders and laggards, explore how risk exposures compare, and which sectors are more advanced in building resilience, and more. 

How are ResilienceArc and TransitionArc related?

ResilienceArc and TransitionArc are complementary tools that help users navigate corporate resilience and transition progress, respectively. 

They are currently available as separate tools, but users can access both through a single account via Single Sign-On.  As ResilienceArc and TransitionArc continue to broaden, deepen and evolve, a key focus will be on the convergence of insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of both corporate transition and resilience together. 

How many companies are in ResilienceArc? 

As of June 2026, ResilienceArc features assessments of ~200 companies across all five metrics and assets-only profiles for an additional 3,000+ companies. 

“All metrics” refer to companies that have been evaluated across all five metrics and have both an overall resilience score and physical climate risk profile.

“Asset only” refer to standalone assessments of a company’s exposure to physical climate risks, available on the “Asset only” tab. These companies are assessed using only the Asset metric, which breaks down into two main sub-metrics, High Risk Assets, and Revenue Impairment.

Over time, we plan to expand both the coverage of full company assessments and asset-specific assessments.     

Which types of companies are included?

The companies on ResilienceArc represent broad real economy coverage and include both publicly listed and private companies across emerging and developed economies around the world. 

The ~200 companies assessed align with the Climate Action 100+ and Nature Action 100 benchmarks, while the 3,000+ companies with physical risk profiles further align with the constituents of the MSCI ACWI Index.

ResilienceArc does not yet include public sector institutions. 

How do I access ResilienceArc? 

ResilienceArc is publicly and freely accessible to all users upon registration at resiliencearc.org. 

Users can access both ResilienceArc and TransitionArc using the same log-in credentials via Single Sign‑On (SSO). 

Access to data over a data exchange via Snowflake Marketplace and an Application Programming Interface (API) is available upon request with a separate data sharing agreement. The database powering ResilienceArc is designed to be interoperable with other data systems.

How can I contribute to ResilienceArc?

We invite additional partners to work with us to improve ResilienceArc. 

We especially welcome collaborators on physical risk, asset-level, and geo-spatial data, supply chain risks, sector-specific resilience approaches (particularly in harder-to-track sectors such as mining and agriculture), food systems and nature data, and disclosures and policy.
