Peter Walsh

Senior Director Sustainability & ESG Digital Solutions at Benchmark Gensuite

Speaker

Peter Walsh is a sustainability and climate risk advisor with more than three decades experience bridging environmental science, finance, and digital transformation. Over his career, he has helped shape European sustainability service lines, advance carbon market mechanisms, and lead the evolution of ESG data systems from compliance tools to strategic risk platforms. His work focuses on embedding climate risk analytics into data architectures — connecting scenario modelling, regulatory requirements, and operational systems to create decision-grade climate intelligence and actionable insight. Peter brings a systems-level perspective to the future of climate resilience, arguing that the next frontier is not better reporting, but data-driven risk assessment to drive resilience and strategic adaption.
