Introdution

Organisations, both globally and within the African Continent, have a heightened awareness about environmental, social governance, risk, and compliance (ESG-RC) issues as investors, regulators, and the community at large are demanding greater transparency and board accountability. Organizations that prioritize ESG can drive value and mitigate risks to operations and the bottom line over time. ESG’s relevance for businesses and investors is well understood

However, governments in Africa have not caught up. A real opportunity exists for governments to support strong and consistent ESG reporting, raise the bar for performance, communicate success to different stakeholder audiences, and provide clarity for investors. These actions will help companies operating in their jurisdiction, and they will also help the government by building its brand and its investment attractiveness. This highly interactive workshop will unpack an overview of an ESG framework and how it supports an organisation’s overall performance and risk management. It will examine each component in detail and provide insight into how they converge to impact an organisation and its stakeholders. It will also discuss how to look at corporate pressures and stakeholder expectations and their impact on risk identification and business success.A Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), ESG, and banking course covers African regulatory frameworks, corporate governance principles, risk management strategies for financial institutions, and the integration of ESG factors into banking operations to create value and manage emerging risks. Key topics include identifying and mitigating ESG risks, developing ESG policies, understanding reporting standards like GRI and TCFD, and aligning GRC with the African Sustainable Finance Goal.
