Why Carbon Exposure Is the Risk Nobody Sees Coming |Ampresta

GROWTH PILLAR: Sales & Revenue WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Asset managers / CFOs and C-suite leaders / Risk professionals navigating ESG and sustainability reporting WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: A clear framework for reading climate risk as a financial issue — not a reporting checkbox. Practical language for boardroom conversations about carbon exposure, stranded assets, and de-risking real estate and infrastructure portfolios.   Most balance sheets are missing something. That something is climate risk — and it's already costing businesses in real estate, transportation, and insurance more than they realize. Ellza Malok is the Chief R&D Officer at Ampresta Inc. She brings behavioral research and data science to one core problem: turning complicated climate data into decisions leaders can actually make. Nidhi Nikum is an Advisor in Climate Risk Intelligence, with a deep background in banking, credit risk, and institutional lending. She helps financial organizations understand how climate exposure transmits directly through their balance sheets. Ampresta closes the gap between sustainability reporting and real financial decision-making. In this episode of Knack 4 Business, Ellza and Nidhi break down why carbon exposure is the risk most leaders never see coming — and what to do about it before it becomes a crisis. Topics covered: Why climate risk is a fiduciary responsibility, not a sustainability conversation How the Carbon Performance Scorecard works for real estate asset managers What polycrisis means and why it matters to your business right now How behavioral incentives drive decarbonization decisions at the C-suite level The difference between physical risk and transition risk on your balance sheet Why most organizations are managing the tailpipe instead of the engine How Ampresta converts abstract climate exposure into target numbers leaders can act on Why stranded assets are a growing threat to real estate and infrastructure portfolios The ripple effect of decarbonization — from energy costs to investor expectations Connect with Ellza Malok on LinkedIn or at ampresta.com.
