JBA Risk Management, a UK-based flood science specialist, has partnered with start-up TransZero to enhance flood risk assessment for global property assets.
Launched in September 2025, TransZero supports businesses with climate-related risk disclosure reporting by providing insights for property assets worldwide. Its platform serves the asset management, banking, insurance, and retail sectors.
TransZero’s cloud-hosted platform and API solutions use best-in-class climate and hazard models to quantify the impacts of a wide range of climate-related perils, enabling risk assessment for any location globally.
The platform also allows companies to evaluate the impact of alternative climate adaptation measures across global property portfolios, supporting climate-resilience strategies and climate-related disclosures, while helping users quantify climate risk across their supply chains.
Under the partnership, JBA Risk Management is providing TransZero with access to its global flood maps and high-resolution flood data, delivering location-level insight into physical flood risk for both current and future climate scenarios. This enables TransZero to assess how flood risk across users’ property portfolios may evolve over time, including changes in annual asset damage from 2025 through to 2100 under alternative Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) climate pathways.
Dr Iain Willis, TransZero Director and co-founder, said, “It’s a pleasure to partner with JBA Risk Management – they are the world’s leading experts in flood intelligence, and this new partnership allows our clients to benefit from this capability. With river, surface water and coastal flood risk predicted to further increase for many regions in the world, our clients can now benefit from the best flood mapping available to assess their property risk.”
Dr David Wood, Managing Director, JBA Risk Management, added, “We are delighted that TransZero has chosen JBA’s expert flood risk insight, delivered through our suite of API services, to support climate change-related risk assessments for properties worldwide. TransZero’s platform shows how our global high-resolution data can be translated into practical, decision-ready insight for asset and risk managers.”
