    Who should attend

    This programme has been designed for senior executives in credit institutions who are at the coal face of ESG integration. It would also be highly valuable to board members interested in a programme that pulls the key ESG strands together in a practical and accessible way.

    Learning objectives

    • To gain a comprehensive understanding of the drivers (NGO, legislative, regulatory, best practice) of the ESG agenda, stakeholder expectations and the related governance context within which credit institutions must operate;

    • To understand the terminology within this evolving governance paradigm;

    • To fully understand why the system of governance must be the driving force behind any environmental and societal and sustainable finance initatives;

    • To appreciate how strategic opportunities related to the EU Action Plan and environemental and societal aspects must be mainstreamed into an organisation's risk management framework including an understanding of the critical link between ESG risk, corporate risk appetite, strategy setting and capital;

    • To understand the relationship between ESG risks, bank balance sheets, stress tests and economic and regulatory capital requirements;

    • To understand the different economic scenarios driven by physical and transitionary risks from climate change over the next 30 years, and how they will impact capital in regulatory and internal stress tests (ICAAPs);

    • To be able to effectively participate in the wider disclosure on strategy incorporating environmental and societal considerations.
