See page 13 for more mitigating risks details on our recent training. We recommend that all portfolio companies consider analyzing the exposure and sensitivities of their physical assets to climate risks, depending on the company location and asset type. After conducting an initial assessment, portfolio companies should conduct further investigations on sites that are deemed high risk. Further, we have educated our portfolio companies on both physical and socioeconomic impacts of climate change and recommend that all portfolio companies consider how the socioeconomic impacts of climate change will impact their business. We believe these investigations will yield valuable informa- tion that can be used to better understand our risk exposure. As many of our investments have been in our portfolio for less than a year, we have not yet conducted a full analysis of our systemic portfolio exposure. Going forward, we expect to be able to gain a better understanding of our risk exposure as our portfolio companies complete their first full year of quarterly reporting on core and company-specific key performance indicators. See Measuring Performance on page 20. We believe that our Net Zero 2030 commitment will help us reduce climate risks, which are becoming more costly and/or widespread throughout the economy. Also, by considering climate change risks during the due diligence process, DigitalBridge can better understand how to mitigate potential climate-related risks.
