Insights and discussions on hot topics from the world of responsible sourcing from TDi Sustainability’s expert analysts and specialist guests.
With suits in the boardroom and boots on the ground, TDi provides a 360-degree perspective on sustainability and long-term business resilience for businesses across the length and breadth of global mineral and metal value chains.
For many years, climate discussions have focused on emissions reduction and net-zero commitments. But increasingly, companies and investors are asking a different question: how will a changing climate affect the places where we operate, the materials we produce, and the communities and supply chains that support them?
This episode explores how climate models, emissions scenarios and site-level hazard data can be combined with operational vulnerability assessments to identify physical climate risks, understand how they may evolve over time, prioritise adaptation and support more resilient investment and business decisions.
Through their partnership on TDi’s digital platform, TDi Sustainability and AXA Climate are translating this climate data into practical, asset-level intelligence that helps companies identify risk hotspots, prioritise vulnerable operations and strengthen resilience across mineral value chains.
Speakers include:
Christelle Castet – Head of Science, AXA Climate

Charlotte Selvey Miller – Head of Innovation and Productisation, TDi
