Sands conducts an environmental risk assessment, including climate-related risk evaluation, through processes aligned with best practices from the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management and TCFD frameworks.
The environmental risk assessment process uses multiple methods to identify risks, including background research, ongoing risk monitoring and stakeholder engagement.
We use publicly available tools, research-based GHG concentration trajectories and internal analysis to complete the assessment.
We then assess environmental risks on five-point scales for likelihood and impact.
Results of environmental and social assessments are integrated into the company’s ESG materiality assessment for further management of low-level risks.
Each strategy is supported by a topical brief, action plan, ESG benchmarking and other mitigation tools, as needed.
Climate-related risks such as sea level rise, severe weather, temperature fluctuations and flooding are projected on short-, medium- and long-term time horizons (2030 and 2050).
We utilize publicly available tools and models (e.g., WWF Water Risk Filter, WRI Aqueduct, IPCC reports, IEA NZE and STEPS scenarios data and Climate Central) in conjunction with a third-party proprietary model and internal calculations and measurements.
We have calculated the impact of certain climate-related risks, such as carbon pricing and increases in utility costs due to long-term increases in temperature.
Climate-risk mitigation measures include acquisition of insurance policies to address severe weather events and development of business continuity plans.
In addition, energy- and water-efficiency projects, along with our approved sciencebased emissions-reduction goal and renewable energy strategy, help lower utility consumption and offset costs related to potential increases in temperature.
