ESG and sustainability have become dominating issues in the world economy. But ESG regulation is evolving and to date no internationally recognized standards have emerged. This presents a huge challenge for banks, which are struggling to integrate ESG into their risk management framework. The challenge is especially acute for commodity trade finance, which is exposed to multiple ESG risks that are poorly understood. And with compliance and reporting standards strengthening by the day, the banks that finance commodity trade need to overhaul their risk management approach urgently. This course has been designed to directly address these challenges, providing bank professionals with the information and context they need to understand how sustainability issues impact commodity trade finance. The course explores sustainability factors and impacts, examines the different approaches and frameworks that are being developed to manage ESG risk, and profiles a range of guiding documents & frameworks that can be used to successfully integrate ESG into the risk management of commodity trade finance.
