Blunomy brief: December 2025
“Climate is not a moral question but an economic fact”
A position paper by Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz, Chairman & Co-Founder of Blunomy.
Beyond the political backlash and the fading regulatory pressure we are witnessing worldwide, climate change continues to reshape supply chains, the cost of capital, operational resilience, and asset values. The challenge for leaders now is to redesign climate tools that enable them to steer the transition with clarity and confidence. We must shift from symbolic commitments to actionable economic strategy — from carbon-only indicators to systemic risk diagnostics grounded in operational reality and directly tied to financial performance, so that companies can better capture the true transformation dynamics of their business and markets.
What does it take to realign business decisions with the materiality of climate risk? And how can organizations turn this diagnosis into a powerful performance lever?

The illusion of respite: how climate and environmental risks continue to threaten banking stability
By Inès Galichon, Partner and responsable of Financial Institutions Development, and Clément Le Guyader, Consulting Manager at Blunomy.
While the ESG regulatory landscape appears to soften—marked by the NZBA dissolution and Omnibus negotiations—the fundamental climate and environmental challenges facing European banks remain unchanged. Four structural pillars persist: the ECB's unwavering supervisory stance, including the introduction of a "climate factor" from 2026; inadequately quantified transition risks threatening both corporate clients and bank profitability; underestimated physical and nature-related risks creating hidden balance sheet vulnerabilities; and substantial growth opportunities in the €2+ trillion annual transition investment market. Banks must strengthen their risk quantification capabilities and seize commercial opportunities to ensure both financial stability and successful client transition financing.
Flex appeal: the rising role of flexibility in the UK on the road to Clean Power 2030
By Simon Martyniuck (consulting manager), Paul Faraggi (Partner Energy and DER) and Safae El Fadil (Partner, UK office manager).
Flexibility is rapidly becoming the defining lever of the UK energy transition. With recent regulatory changes now enabling behind-the-meter assets to trade in wholesale markets (P415) and removing metering requirement barriers (P483), the system is shifting from a centralised model to a distributed, responsive one. Commercial buildings, representing around 20% of UK electricity demand, remain a significant untapped opportunity. As retailers, aggregators, manufacturers and investors reposition around flexibility platforms, the key source of value is migrating from physical assets to data, orchestration, and enduring customer participation. Scaling this market will depend on clear frameworks, seamless technical integration, and user-centric models. The UK is beginning to flex: now the challenge is to build strength at speed.
