Komunidad and Black Cat Consultancy Partner to Advance Climate Risk Intelligence in UK Real Estate
A strategic collaboration bringing location-specific climate insights into ESG advisory and property decision-making.
A New Standard for ESG in the Built Environment
Komunidad, a global climate action management software company, has announced a new partnership with Black Cat Building Consultancy, one of the UK’s most respected independent building consulting firms.
This collaboration is designed to help property stakeholders, including investors, developers, and asset managers, make smarter, climate-informed decisions. By integrating Komunidad’s climate risk intelligence platform into its ESG due diligence and advisory services, Black Cat aims to provide clients with clearer and more actionable insights into physical climate risks such as flooding, overheating, and wind exposure.
“Our clients need granular, site-specific insights to navigate growing climate pressures,” said Ryan Greensmith, Director of Sustainability, ESG, and Net Zero at Black Cat Building Consultancy. “Komunidad’s platform gives us the clarity to help clients manage risk, protect asset value, and plan for long-term resilience.”
From Climate Data to Smarter Decisions
With ESG regulations evolving and investor expectations rising, the UK real estate market is under increasing pressure to understand and act on climate risk. Komunidad’s platform delivers forward-looking, location-specific assessments across eight physical climate hazards. These insights are tailored to each asset and presented in a clear, decision-ready format.
For Black Cat, this technology enhances their ESG offering by supporting faster, data-informed guidance across acquisition, portfolio planning, and refurbishment advisory.
“This isn’t just about data, it’s about enabling smarter, faster decisions,” said Allister Ayque, COO at Komunidad. “We’re proud to support Black Cat as they lead the way in practical, climate-informed advisory.”
Building Capacity for Climate-Responsive Advisory
In addition to enhancing client-facing ESG services, this partnership opens up opportunities for deeper knowledge-sharing between both teams. By aligning on goals around data clarity, usability, and client relevance, Komunidad and Black Cat are laying the groundwork for stronger integration of climate intelligence in real estate advisory.
The collaboration reflects a shared belief that climate risk data should be not only technically sound, but also practical and accessible for consultants and decision-makers in the built environment.
