Case Study · RedLines Scan / Pro
Managing climate risk across a global wine supply chain
How Laithwaites identified supplier climate risk to support procurement and sourcing decisions.
The Challenge
Climate change was turning supplier resilience into a business risk
Laithwaites needed to understand which of its 34 supplier vineyards across France, Spain, Portugal and Italy faced the greatest exposure to drought, heat stress and extreme weather.
Manual assessment was impractical. They needed a fast, consistent method that could scale across the supplier base.
The Solution
RedLines Scan and Pro delivered a tiered assessment across the supplier base
RedLines Scan screened all 34 vineyards and produced a prioritised exposure heat map. The 8 highest-risk sites were then assessed in depth using RedLines Pro.
Supplier-facing reports supported structured conversations with producers on adaptation and long-term supply continuity.
The Outcomes
A clearer supplier risk picture and foundation for long-term resilience
34 supplier sites screened and prioritised in under 2 weeks
8 high-risk vineyards assessed with individual supplier reports
Outputs informed a 3-year supply diversification and producer engagement strategy
