Sustainable Banking training course for managers |Smart

Overview

Why Attend

This course offers a Sustainable Banking training course. This crisis has shown that the appropriate resilience to environment and social (E&S) risks is becoming increasingly salient. The lessons from COVID-19 reveal a gilt-edged warning that climate change and natural losses can affect people's lives; like the 2008 financial crisis, such levels of financial industry turmoil have left the world over. Thus, moving into the future will become all the more relevant for such an institution as banks or other financial institutions to implement all proper measures to alleviate these emergencies.

Banking transformations are speeding up due to all these shocks. The banking sector will play a pivotal role in the delivery of sustainable development, the new intermediation will become a requisite for mobilising and channeling financial resources toward sustainable objectives. Sustainable banks will integrate ESG-sustainable impact into their traditional banking models and then consider such benefits as a major target of ESG. Historically, capital market decisions were premised on two dimensional risk and return analyses. The new paradigm of sustainable banking will revolve around three dimensions, namely: risk, return, and impact.

This Sustainable Banking training course will provide attendees with all of the principles and latest tools for enabling sustainable banking, both on the daily internal operations regarding how to run the physical branches/locations, human capital, costs, opportunities, risks-exposures and on activities that relate to external interactions with the clients, as well as what types of funded projects.
