The Risilience sustainability intelligence platform has been named a high-performing vendor by Verdantix in their latest Smart Innovators: Transition Risk Data and Analytics report. The independent analysis benchmarked thirteen global providers across thirteen capabilities critical to assessing and managing climate transition risk.

Risilience was one of only a few vendors to receive the highest rating (4/4) across four critical dimensions: scenario modelling, stress testing, model transparency, and ESG integration.

These areas are widely recognised as foundational to enterprise-wide transition risk management, particularly for firms navigating complex decarbonisation pathways under evolving disclosure regimes and investor scrutiny.

“Verdantix’s recognition reflects our focus on translating transition risk into decision-grade metrics that business leaders can act on,” said Dr Andrew Coburn, CEO of Risilience. “We’re equipping our clients not just to disclose climate risk, but to compete in a net-zero economy.”

Integrated insights beyond compliance

While many platforms focus narrowly on carbon exposure or regulatory mapping, Risilience was singled out for its integrated assessment of policy, litigation, market and reputational risks, and its ability to reflect those within financial metrics such as cash flow, earnings, asset impairment and future corporate valuation.

According to the report, transition risk has become a board-level concern, particularly as:

  • Legal liabilities are growing. Global litigation for climate damages is on the rise, with major fossil fuel firms facing multibillion-dollar settlements.
  • Regulation is expanding. Over thirty jurisdictions are adopting ISSB-aligned disclosure frameworks requiring firms to quantify and report transition risks.
  • Investor expectations are increasing. Pension funds and sovereign wealth managers are under mounting pressure to align portfolios with 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios.

“The market is shifting from fragmented disclosures to integrated risk intelligence,” said Dr Coburn. “That shift demands transparency, scientific alignment, and forward-looking insight—not just to manage downside exposure, but to seize advantage.”

The report notes that only a small subset of vendors have developed platforms capable of supporting custom scenario analysis, portfolio rebalancing, and strategy-aligned risk management at the level of granularity financial institutions now require.
