“…The pharmaceutical sector is already bearing the brunt of this risk, with high financial losses, such as in Puerto Rico in 2017, where Hurricane Maria washed away nearly USD 200 million worth of pharmaceutical products from Pfizer warehouses [52]. In addition, heat and water stresses are a considerable risk for the biotechnology industry [53]. Indeed, India produces nearly 50% of the world's vaccine demand, and is at high risk from water and heat [53].…”

The health sector in Australia and the ASX100 is lagging far behind in the implementation of carbon management and climate risk analysis. This case study highlights the low quantity and quality of the sector compared to its market weight. The analysis of CDP disclosures for Australian healthcare companies shows this delay and a general lack of interest in the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures’ (TCFD) recommendations. Yet, the physical and transitory risks for these companies do exist. The reasons for this inaction represent a knowledge gap in the literature, but several hypotheses are formulated, such as the lack of pressure from public authorities. At the level of the ten largest healthcare companies in the world, this failure to act is not systemic, so the scope of analysis must be broadened to see a pattern emerging.

The literature also shows that these risks are not sufficiently considered by companies [48,54,55].…”
