Environmental, social and governance (ESG) associated opportunities and risks are becoming more and more relevant for financial institutions, especially banks which are subject to scrutiny across each of these specific, ‘E’ ‘S’ & ‘G’ areas.

Banks are concerned not only with their own ESG performance, but also the ESG risks and opportunities they are subject to as a lender. This is coupled with a constant flow of new regulations which is bringing extensive compliance and horizon scanning challenges for banks.

As banks move towards integrating ESG across their business, how can they be sure the company is ready to cope with existing and upcoming regulatory requirements? What are the gaps that can already be identified? Is the company measuring, reporting, and disclosing non-financial ESG information that is critical to understanding both strategic intent, risks, and opportunities? Who in the bank is responsible for ESG at functional and Board levels?

At this exclusive in-person event Board Agenda and Diligent are hosting panel discussions with experts to review the implications of recent and emerging regulatory expectations, the key steps for governance and compliance professionals in the banking industry to prepare their companies, plus the key questions boards should be asking.

Chaired by Gavin Hinks panel guests discuss:

• The impact of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023
• Implications for banks, opportunities for growth and competitive advantage.
• The evolving ESG disclosure landscape, upcoming standards & deadlines
