ESG evolution: Navigating the regulatory frontier

Mastering the ESG and Sustainability regulatory landscape in financial institutions involves understanding the various regulations and guidelines set forth by regulatory bodies on a global scale.

Regulatory bodies worldwide play a crucial role in shaping ESG and Sustainability regulations. These regulatory bodies expect financial institutions to identify, measure, and manage ESG risks, emphasizing transparency and consistency in ESG reporting. The recently introduced Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in Europe serves as an example of the global trend toward strengthening ESG reporting requirements for companies, expanding the scope of sustainability reporting, and introducing stricter audit requirements.

Financial institutions need to integrate ESG considerations into their risk management processes and decision-making frameworks to align with evolving global regulatory expectations. Staying informed about regulatory updates from various regions and seeking expert advice is essential to ensure compliance and avoid reputational risks.

During our Best Practice Forum "ESG Evolution: Navigating the Regulatory Frontier," we will explore the ever-changing global ESG regulatory landscape. We will help financial institutions effectively adapt to the latest regulatory developments, including those inspired by the CSRD in Europe, and navigate the impact on their operations. Join us to gain practical knowledge on identifying, assessing, and managing ESG risks while integrating ESG considerations into your institution's global risk management frameworks and investment strategies.
