Live Online ESG Reporting and Disclosure for Banks Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
Banks are asked for sustainability information by regulators, rating agencies, development finance partners and corporate clients, and inconsistent answers quickly damage credibility. Five days set out a reporting framework built around the realities of banking, where the largest impacts sit in the loan book rather than the branch network. You identify material environmental, social and governance matters through stakeholder input and portfolio analysis. Data sessions build processes for collecting, validating and organizing ESG information from credit, HR, procurement, operations and risk.
Indicator work applies measures such as green lending volumes, financed emissions, financial inclusion, staff diversity and governance metrics to banking activities. Disclosure sessions cover governance and risk reporting, narrative quality and preparing reports for different stakeholder groups. The final day is spent drafting disclosures for a sample bank, then reviewing them against recognized frameworks and peer reports. Sustainability officers, financial reporting staff, investor relations, compliance and risk teams and corporate communications staff in banks will find it practical, and live online sessions suit teams spread across branches. Afterwards you can coordinate a reporting cycle and produce disclosures that are consistent, evidenced and readable.
