Arctic Basecamp x Freeths: The Business Case for Tackling Climate Risk

11th Sep 2025

Freeths, in collaboration with Arctic Basecamp, is hosting an exclusive online event with Professor Gail Whiteman — World Economic Forum speaker, founder of Arctic Basecamp, and co-founder of Climate Basecamp alongside US actor and activist Rainn Wilson. Fresh from New York Climate Week, Professor Whiteman will deliver an unfiltered briefing on why climate risk is no longer a distant issue but a defining factor for business survival.

Expect no spin, no greenwash — just the blunt truths business leaders need to hear.

This high-stakes conversation will explore:

  • Why ignoring climate risk is a legal, commercial, and reputational gamble organisations cannot afford.
  • How climate risk directly impacts value, resilience, and competitiveness.
  • What the next decade of litigation, regulation, and investor pressure will mean for leadership and strategy.

With a clear focus on the business implications, the session will highlight why climate risk belongs at the top of the boardroom agenda. Attendees will gain insight into the commercial, legal, and reputational dimensions of inaction — and why embedding climate resilience into decision-making is not just responsible, but essential.

The event will conclude with a live Q&A with Professor Whiteman and the Freeths team, along with reflections on Freeths’ journey as a certified B Corp, and how businesses can move from awareness to action.

Event Details:
📅 Thursday 2 October
⏰ 10:00 – 11:00
📍 Online (Zoom link to follow)

This isn’t just another webinar. It’s Thought Work for us all.
