ZF LIFETEC partnered with South Pole to assess climate risks and opportunities across their global operations using scenario analysis.
ZF LIFETEC is a global leader in safety system, dedicated to saving lives through innovative technology. It needed a robust climate risk assessment for long-term operational resilience and to align with disclosures under the European CSRD, currently in the implementation phase in Germany.

To safeguard its automotive safety business, ZF LIFETEC conducted advanced climate scenario analysis. Pinpointing risk hotspots enabled the company to integrate climate strategy into core planning, ensuring resilience and CSRD-aligned disclosures.
South Pole began by undertaking a comprehensive screening and prioritisation of physical and transition climate risks and opportunities specific to ZF LIFETEC’s operations and value chain. We moved beyond simple exposure evaluation to understand the specific implications for the automotive safety sector. By assessing a range of factors that contribute to vulnerability, we established a solid foundation for climate scenario analysis, ensuring that the most important risks and opportunities to the business were identified.
Our digital platform, Luumo, gives you insights and tools for emission footprinting, reduction roadmaps and risk modelling including scope 3, supported by experts every step of the way.
The project culminated in a detailed resilience analysis that connected climate data to business strategy. The outcomes allow ZF LIFETEC to integrate climate considerations directly into its strategic planning, including identified adaptation and mitigation priorities. Consequently, the company is now equipped to submit robust EU’s CSRD-aligned disclosures and possesses actionable analysis to respond to climate-related risks in its operations and supply chain.
Conducting a structured climate risk assessment provided us with a clearer understanding of how climate change may affect our operations across different locations worldwide.
The analysis has helped us identify locally specific vulnerabilities and practical actions which we can begin to address now. It also encouraged us to look at our business from a new, longterm climate perspective enabling even more informed strategic planning. The digital Luumo Climate Risks tool provided by South Pole has been an essential component in achieving this level of insight.
