ESG for Banks: Getting ready to compete in the ESG regulatory world

Context 

ESG matters lie at the very heart of regulators’ concerns in the financial sector.

The extensive and constantly evolving regulatory framework adopted in that respect at EU and national level has concrete impacts on all actors of the financial sector, and notably upon credit institutions, which are facing the challenge of both understanding and implementing the vast and complex legal obligations, ranging from transparency duties to risk management, conduct of business and product design requirements, that are imposed upon them.

The present training course aims at helping credit institutions to master such challenge and to get ready to meet the rising expectations from supervisory authorities, clients and investors when it comes to ESG.

Objectives 

The objectives are to: 

• Help your decision-makers and key function holders to understand the impacts of ESG on the organisation’s strategy, risk management, policies and procedures, services and products
• Train your teams to adapt their day-to-day activities to the ESG regulatory landscape

Content 

The content can be adapted to your requirements. You find a general overview here: 

• Why and how to adapt your strategy 
• Impact on investment advice 
• Impact on loan processes
