Frequently asked

Which ESG and sustainable finance programme should we start with?

Start with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) & Sustainable Financing Masterclass, the first step of the ESG learning path, then ESG and Climate Risk Stress Testing Masterclass and the IFRS S2 climate disclosure programme. Lending and capital markets teams working on labelled products should consider Green, Social & Sustainability-Linked Finance: Loans, Bonds and Sukuk; teams financing high-emitting clients, Transition Finance for Banks.

What does ESG and sustainable finance training cover, and who is it for?

It treats sustainability with the same rigour as any other supervisory expectation: ESG frameworks, climate risk integration and stress testing, sustainability and climate disclosure, and green, social, sustainability-linked and transition finance. It is for risk, credit, sustainability, finance and reporting teams, corporate and project bankers, and board members. Programmes are practitioner-led, delivered in English and French, in the classroom, live virtual or in-house.

Do your programmes cover green bonds, sustainability-linked loans and transition finance?
