Jupiter in the news

Four years ago, almost no large companies were thinking about the impact of climate change on their businesses. Finally, many are. Jupiter CEO Rich Sorkin shares his thoughts on climate planning and recovery in the wake of the 2021 Texas blackouts.

“Without that planning and investment, a hellscape will be upon us,” says Rich Sorkin, as the Washington Post turns to Jupiter for insights into power grid climate resilience after the devastating winter blackouts in Texas.

Jupiter Intelligence CEO Rich Sorkin said banks are using his firm’s services to “understand the safety of a mortgage asset over the mortgage’s expected life cycle.” Sorkin added that his company has seen “a huge uptick in interest” from insurance, asset management and real estate companies.

“As Rich Sorkin, head of Jupiter Intelligence, a consultancy, argues: ‘In ten years there won’t be a large entity anywhere on the planet that does not have a handle on its climate risk. Consumers, shareholders and employees won’t stand for it.’”

“Currently, the world overall is repeating the mistakes of the COVID pandemic and the Global Financial Crisis – it is too slow to recognize and respond to enormous and imminent impacts on citizens and corporations,” says Rich Sorkin, CEO of Jupiter.
