Build practical skills in sustainable lending, ESG credit assessment, borrower screening, ESG risk analysis, credit decisions, portfolio monitoring, and responsible finance practices.
Sustainable Lending and ESG Credit Assessment is a course integrating ESG factors into lending decisions. It examines how institutions assess ESG risks, borrower performance, and sustainability factors during credit applications. Furthermore, participants explore methods linking ESG information with credit analysis, risk ratings, structures, and monitoring. The course supports responsible lending by helping institutions identify overlooked ESG risks within lending decisions. Participants can expect guidance on ESG screening, borrower assessment, credit decisions, documentation, and portfolio monitoring.

Consequently, participants develop judgment when reviewing sustainability risks, financial impacts, governance concerns, and borrower commitments. Moreover, the course addresses how ESG credit assessment supports resilience, regulatory expectations, and sustainable finance.
