ESG

About the event

Banks face intensifying expectations to demonstrate not just awareness but structured, transparent reporting of climate and sustainability risks. The introduction of the ISSB's global standards (IFRS S1 & S2) under the IFRS framework marks a pivotal shift in how banks assess, disclose, and govern sustainability-linked financial risks.

This webinar gathers leading voices in banking and ESG to explore what these standards mean in real-world banking operations. Participants will gain actionable insights across four thematic pillars—spanning the strategic, organizational, operational, and opportunity dimensions of ISSB adoption

Our speakers will navigate the new ISSB standards through four interconnected themes:

  • Strategic Impact – What the ISSB standards are, how they differ from past ESG frameworks, and the global adoption timeline.
  • Governance & Alignment – How boards and leadership adapt, clarify responsibilities, and embed sustainability into risk management—while avoiding greenwashing.
  • Data & Systems – The infrastructure needed for credible disclosure, addressing Scope 3 challenges, and creating sustainability-linked products.
  • From Compliance to Opportunity – Turning disclosure requirements into trust, resilience, innovation, and competitive advantage—plus one priority action for the next 6–12 months.
