BLUNOMY BRIEF - JUNE 2026
Welcome to Blunomy's monthly newsletter - How Danone is transforming climate risk assessment into a strategic engine for resilience; our contribution to the IFD’s landmark report on CSRD climate disclosures; actionable tools for private equity funds to navigate the climate adaptation landscape; our sit-down with TerraGRN on scaling nature-based solutions from pilot to infrastructure; and much more!

A foreword by our CEO - Sébastien Guillo
43.8°C. That's the record broken in France the past week, following an unprecedented heatwave that started as early as spring, with a third wave now threatening before mid-July. This is only a preview of our climate future.
These heatwaves are not anomalies: they are a trajectory, and that trajectory is accelerating exponentially. Climate scientists have been sounding the alarm for over 30 years. Today, we also understand the concrete consequences, for schools, healthcare, agriculture, energy, housing, digital infrastructure, and access to water.
Adapting doesn't mean aiming for a new stable threshold, it means building our resilience to a permanent, unpredictable shift. And adaptation must never distract us from the root cause: every tonne of CO2 emitted today makes tomorrow's challenges harder to face.
No business is immune.
The question is no longer "how much will the transition cost?" but "how much is inaction costing us, every day we wait?

CLIMATE RISKS & ADAPTATION
How Measuring Climate Risk Reshaped Danone's Strategy
In a recent interview by Option Finance, Blunomy CEO and Danone CSO shared how they transformed climate physical risk assessment into a powerful strategic engine. By mapping 1,400 sites and 37 raw materials, Danone moved beyond regulatory reporting to turn the CSRD into a driver for operational resilience. Discover how translating climate science into economic impact enables concrete business decisions and a long-term competitive advantage.

CSRD & Climate Risks: Blunomy contributes to the landmark IFD report
The Institut de la Finance Durable (IFD) has released its study on how the "first wave" of companies is integrating climate risks into their CSRD statements. While 98% of firms recognize climate as a material issue, less than 15% have quantified the financial impact of these risks. Blunomy contributed to this work by sharing methodologies and case studies from SNCF, Danone, and Accor to bridge the gap between compliance and operational resilience. Read the analysis of the first reporting cycle.

How can Private Equity drive climate resilience? Blunomy's Climate Adaptation Toolkit Highlighted at London Climate Week
Last week at LCAW, Safae EL FADILI introduced the Climate Adaptation Toolkit for Private Equity Funds at the iCI (Initiative Climat International (iCI) ) event. Developed by Blunomy in partnership with France Invest Sustainability Commission Climate Working Group and several member funds, this guide provides investors with practical tools to quantify physical risks and identify resilience-driven investment opportunities.

Client voice: From awareness to bankability, scaling nature-based solutions with TerraGRN
In this video, Blunomy Co-founder Vincent KIENTZ sits down with TERRAGRN CEO Sundar Bharadwaj to explore why translation, not capital, is the real bottleneck for nature-based investment, and what it will take to scale regenerative systems from pilot to infrastructure over the next decade.

Press release
Shaping the energy future: how the transition opens new horizons for growth
Blunomy co-founder and Chairman Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz took the stage at Think Energies 2026 to discuss how the energy transition is opening up new growth opportunities for energy players.
In her keynote, she outlined two transformations that are now essential for energy players: adopting forward-looking financial metrics beyond historical EBITDA and becoming truly customer-centric to support their clients' decarbonization journeys.

Transition perspective, Bioenergy
How Brazil's biomethane success can inform APAC's energy transition
Brazil scaled its biomethane production from under 1 billion to over 4.7 billion cubic meters in just a decade, turning it into a strategic industrial asset. In this insight paper, Blunomy APAC bioenergy experts Kevin Low unpack the regulatory, commercial, and logistical factors behind this success, and what they mean for APAC markets exploring biofuels today.
Transition perspective, electrification
Decarbonising industrial heat: between sobriety, electrification, and new vectors
Industrial heat is one of industry's toughest decarbonisation challenges, accounting for a third to half of all industrial CO2 emissions. Blunomy's decarbonation expert Angélique Maillot recently discussed why there's no "silver bullet" solution, the financial and infrastructure barriers to adoption, and the subsidies and business models already helping manufacturers move forward, in a conversation held at the latest MIX.E / Produrable event.
Transition perspective, carbon capture
Carbon capture is scaling up, but smaller emitters are being left behind
CCUS infrastructure today is built for scale: large emitters, big pipelines, offshore storage. But thousands of smaller, distributed emitters (biomethane producers, food & beverage sites, industrial facilities) have meaningful CO₂ to capture and no affordable way to transport or sell it. Read Blunomy expert Andy Butt analysis of this structural gap, and the strategic opening it creates for network operators and infrastructure players.
Transition perspective, hydrogen
Decarbonizing industry: the future of hydrogen
What are the main pathways for hydrogen use today, and how will they evolve by 2050? In this video Blunomy decarbonation expert Loïc Rakotojaona break down current and emerging production methods, their ability to meet industrial demand, and the key challenges still standing in the way of long-term availability.

How can businesses create value in an increasingly uncertain world?
That was the question CFOs and sustainability leaders discussed at the PAI CFO & Sustainability Club in London earlier this month. Blunomy was delighted to contribute and help shift the conversation toward financial materiality, and the value sustainability can both create and protect.

Purpose, a strategic driver for performance
Earlier this month, Blunomy CEO Sebastien Guillo was pleased to join a panel discussion hosted by CIC Est in Strasbourg to discuss a critical shift: how corporate commitment has evolved from a moral choice into a strategic intangible asset. He shared Blunomy core conviction: the transition is not an external factor; it is the heart of the business model. It is increasingly becoming the primary driver of a leader’s daily decisions and strategic trade-offs.

Webinar invitation: Nature Risk, from blind spot to resilience strategy
On July 10th, join Fabiola Graveaud, Partner at Blunomy for a webinar with Darwin Data to discover the new Nature Stress Test module. While nature degradation is now recognized as a systemic financial risk, many firms still lack the tools to quantify it. Discover how this new module measures financial loss potential across five natural assets to make nature scenarios as actionable as climate scenarios are today.
