Course overview:
Bank’s Boards and Senior Executives have now wholly accepted the importance of ESG issues as an urgent organisational imperative. Banks know they must now move from making ESG pledges, to taking sustainable action.
As the world seeks to address climate change and environmental threats, assurance of the sustainability of the bank, including how Boards and Senior Executives are leading the transition to a lower carbon economy, is crucial. It also linked to how well they support management and staff in championing the transformation of bank culture, policies, strategies and practices, in response to new and challenging ESG and climate-related priorities.
Customers, governments, regulators, investor groups and key stakeholders are pushing harder for bank governing bodies and Senior Executives to now embrace complex ESG concepts, respond to new ESG reporting and regulatory requirements, and demonstrate that they are managing ESG related risks whilst responding positively to emerging opportunities to add long-term value.
The importance of Culture Audit will also be addressed in this course. This session will examine what we mean by culture, how this differs from the control environment and behaviour, and how to approach culture in a practical way.

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
