1. Extreme weather events

Physical risk

Short to
medium term

Increased costs linked to climate-related weather events disrupting workforce attendance and productivity.

Impacts felt universally – Mitie (UK and overseas), customers and subcontracting and strategic partners affected.

Enhanced health, safety and environment standards and processes ISO 22301 certified

Planned preventative maintenance schedules aligned with seasonal changes

Estates strategy in place and continually reviewed

Insurance coverage

Ongoing scenario testing

The modelling assumes that around two extreme weather events occur annually that affect our operations. It also incorporates the NATHAN approach, which is a global assessment of natural hazard risks and impacts, in order to help calculate the financial repercussions of severe weather incidents on Mitie’s asset portfolio.

2. Increasing summer temperatures

Physical risk

Medium to
long term

Increased costs resulting from absenteeism and reduced productivity.

Impacts felt universally – Mitie (UK and overseas), customers and subcontracting and strategic partners affected.

Occupational health strategy embedded

Ongoing sickness monitoring

Health surveillance and monitoring framework

Seasonal alerts reminding colleagues of risks and associated controls to be followed

Planned preventative maintenance schedules aligned with seasonal changes

The modelling is based on costs related to heat-related sickness experienced by frontline colleagues and the productivity costs incurred by both back-office and frontline colleagues at Mitie due to absences.

3. Decarbonising
supply chain

Transition risk

Short to
medium term

Increased costs arising from the purchase of carbon offsets in order to meet emissions targets.

Procurement leads identified

Ongoing engagement with supply chain

The modelling assumes that the purchase of carbon credits will be required to achieve Mitie’s Scope 3 net emissions objective, resulting in an increase in Group expenditure.

4. Switching from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives for fleet operations

Opportunity

Medium to
long term

Opportunities felt predominately in Mitie operations (Technical Services and Business Services) (UK and overseas).

Impacts felt universally across the Group.

Plan Zero commitment – 85% EV fleet (completed) at the end of 2025

Ongoing review of EV transition

Deployment of charging points at Mitie and customer sites, as well as colleagues’ homes

The modelling assumes that, by FY35, the Group’s fleet will consist entirely of EVs. The associated leasing expenses are expected to rise by 6% per year, with fuel costs determined by average annual mileage and cost per mile. As the Group shifts entirely to EVs, charging expenses are estimated based on average annual mileage.
