Climate Resilience 

Climate change presents both risks and opportunities for our business, clients and supply chain. 

Climate Risk Management 

We assess climate related risks and opportunities across: 

  • Physical risks (including extreme weather impacts on assets, projects and workforce safety) 
  • Transition risks (such as regulatory change, decarbonisation requirements, client expectations) 
  • Opportunities (including protective coatings, resilience upgrades, enhanced environmental remediation) 

These considerations are integrated into our operations through: 

  • Asset design criteria, durability assessments, climate scenario vulnerability assessments and lifecycle strategy 
  • Project planning, sourcing and delivery 
  • Strategic growth and service offerings

Sustainability and climate related risks and opportunities are overseen by the Duratec Board, with accountability embedded at executive and operational levels.

Senior management is responsible for implementing sustainability initiatives and monitoring performance across the business. 

Duratec monitors emerging risks, trends and technologies and continues to integrate sustainability across our business. By targeting proactive adaption, we aim to deliver enhanced protections for staff, the environment, client assets and the communities in which we operate.
