Zurich Resilience Solutions launches tool to build weather resilience

Zurich Resilience Solutions, a unit of Zurich Insurance Group, has introduced Climate Spotlight, an interactive digital platform designed to assist businesses, municipalities, and public entities in identifying, mitigating, and managing risks associated with extreme weather and climate change.

The tool provides insights using proprietary data to model 10 climate-related perils under best- to worst-case scenarios through the year 2100.

“In the face of worsening weather and climate conditions, Zurich Resilience Solutions is helping customers be proactive and take steps to build their extreme weather and climate resilience,” said Aroo Sivasubramaniam, head of Zurich Resilience Solutions for North America.

“The spotlight uses our proprietary weather and climate data to generate insights that can help businesses identify and quantify risks to their operations, assets, and people, so they can best allocate capital and build a competitive advantage.”

The solution is available in two formats:

1. Climate Spotlight Core: A self-service dashboard enabling users to assess climate risks for up to 100 global sites.
2. Climate Spotlight Expert: A customized option offering metrics tailored to specific business needs, the ability to analyze unlimited sites, and consultation with Zurich’s in-house climate risk experts.

Both versions provide insights across four climate change scenarios, enabling strategic planning, risk materiality analysis, and compliance with climate reporting frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Zurich North America provides insurance and prevention services for industries ranging from agriculture to technology. It operates as part of Zurich Insurance Group, a multi-line insurer serving over 200 countries and territories.
