ESG and Sustainable Risk Management
Practical approaches to identifying, assessing, and managing sustainability-related financial risk.
This specialist programme equips risk professionals with the knowledge and practical frameworks required to understand how environmental, social, and governance factors can create or amplify financial and non-financial risk. Participants develop a structured understanding of how sustainability-related risks can be assessed, integrated into risk management frameworks, monitored, and communicated.
Programme Overview
ESG and sustainability considerations are increasingly relevant to the identification, assessment, and management of financial risk.
