Objectives

Illustrate the environmental and social risks involved in lending and investing projects as a consequence of the activities of their clients, guide participants through strategies and tools and explore next steps in terms of promoting the efficient implementation of E&S risk analysis in the host country’s financial sector at large.

As such the day is divided into four key sections:

1. Introduction
   In this first section participants are introduced to the overall concept of sustainable finance and to the more specific area of environmental and social risk in the finance sector.
2. Training exercises
   This is the core part of the Workshop. Participants are taught to identify potential environmental and social risks associated to the projects their clients seek financial services for.
3. Presentation of existing best practice
   Participants are provided with an insider view to how some financial institutions have already devised policies and standard procedures to analyze this "new" category of risk, presented with examples of best practice.
4. Final debate
   At this final stage of the day participants are invited to pool their thoughts in terms of what they consider to be the needs and next steps in order for their institution to be able to introduce or improve their environmental and social risk management systems.
