Introductory Training Workshop on Environmental and Social Risk Analysis

12 November 2010 | Montevideo

» Español

For the first time UNEP FI/Ecobanking convened an Introductory Environmental and Social Risk training workshop in Uruguay, in collaboration with the Private Banking Association and our local member, Banco Comercial.

We organized this workshop with the aim of sensitizing bankers, risk managers and other relevant parties across the financial sector in the South cone, on the importance, effective techniques and consequential benefits of incorporating environmental and social considerations into their investment and risk management decision-making. The workshop also stressed the importance of mainstreaming the integration of environmental and social considerations in the local financial sector.

A carefully targeted group of risk managers, credit officers and analysts, as well as sustainability and environmental managers, from four countries and relevant banking institutions attended this workshop. In the course of a day participants were oriented towards practical mechanisms and tools for implementing Environmental and Social Risk Management, case-study based exercises and activities, as well as peer-to-peer experience sharing from banking practitioners (Banco Santander Brazil and Banco Comercial) were part of the agenda.

The event was co-organised with:
