Introduction to the course
The crises have emphasised the importance of increasing our resilience to environmental and social (E&S) risks, with COVID-19 a dress rehearsal for the disruptive impacts of climate change and nature loss; with the 2008 financial crisis, the financial industry all over the world has deeply affected. Moving into the future, it will be more relevant for banks and other financial institutions to implement robust measures to address these emergencies.
These shocks are accelerating the digital and sustainable transformation of banks. The banking industry is vital to achieving sustainable development due to its unique intermediation role, essential for mobilizing financial resources toward sustainable goals. Sustainable banking integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into traditional banking and sets ESG benefits as a key objective. Capital market decisions used to be based on a two-dimensional risk and return analysis. The new era of sustainable banking is based on three dimensions: risk, return, and impacts.
This Sustainable Banking training course will provide the delegates with the fundamental principles and latest tools to enable to implement sustainable banking both internal daily operations (in terms of how to manage the physical branches/locations, human capital, costs, opportunities, risks exposures) and activities relating to external interactions with the clients and the types of funded projects. It will empower the delegates to unlock and apply an innovative new approach to developing more sustainable business models for their organisations.
This KC Academy training course will highlight:
- The Benefits of Sustainable Banking
- The Environmental, Social and Governance Fundamentals
- Techniques for developing key measures of sustainable banking
- Development of Integrated Reporting systems
- Adapting business risk analysis to manage sustainable banking
