AISIX Solutions Inc. Announces Completion of Successful Climate Risk Pilot Project for Financial Institutions, Addressing OSFI B-15 Guidelines

Aisix Solutions Inc
 

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 29, 2024 – TheNewswire – AISIX Solutions Inc., (“AISIX” or “the Company”) (TSXV: AISX) (OTCQB: AISXF) (FSE: QT7), a frontrunner in climate risk assessment and modeling is proud to announce the successful completion of a groundbreaking climate risk pilot project with a leading Canadian financial institution. This initiative, designed to assess the institution’s commercial lending portfolio’s exposure to climate-related risks—specifically wildfires—has provided critical insights into how climate change could impact loan performance across several provinces in Canada.

The project directly addressed the OSFI B-15 guidelines, which require federally regulated financial institutions to assess and mitigate physical climate risks in their loan portfolios. AISIX applied advanced climate analytics and modeling tools to conduct a thorough Hazard, Risk, and Vulnerability Assessment (HRVA) in line with these guidelines. Using Monte Carlo simulations and physically-based wildfire models, AISIX assessed potential financial impacts under various climate scenarios.

“As the OSFI B-15 guidelines become a regulatory standard, this pilot project demonstrates AISIX’s ability to support financial institutions in meeting these requirements,” said Mihalis Belanits at AISIX Solutions. “We are helping institutions align with national climate risk standards while protecting their portfolios from future risks posed by climate change.”

The pilot project also provided actionable recommendations, such as client questionnaires to assess site-specific risks like wildfire proximity, and strategies to diversify loan distribution across regions to mitigate risk concentration. This project forms the basis for broader climate risk assessments, including other hazards such as floods and extreme weather, while supporting compliance with OSFI B-15 .

AISIX Solutions remains committed to delivering cutting-edge, data-driven solutions to help organizations navigate the evolving landscape of climate risks, ensuring both compliance and resilience in a changing world.
