Our take

According to a Cervest survey, the vast majority of businesses have already been impacted by climate volatility and recognize its bottom line impacts, yet less than half have a plan in place to bring climate change into their decision making. Companies are confident in their ability to manage climate-related risk, yet many say they need more resources and better insights in order to succeed.

Cervest is a B2B AI company that specialises in developing cutting-edge machine learning technology designed to help businesses, institutions and producers better adapt to changing climate conditions. The company's edge comes in part from its founders extensive agribusiness experience. Cervest's team are hired from educational institutions like Cambridge, UC Berkeley and the Alan Turing Institute, as well as companies such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft

It is a high-profile company that is continuing to draw top talent and investment. Its B Corp certification also consolidates its credibility as an organisation dedicated to mitigating climate change. Further, Cervest's recently announced Climate Intelligence Council will bring together global leaders with the hope to promote climate intelligence across industries.
