Description
Overview
The accelerating pace of disruption, geopolitical tensions, climate change, technological innovation, and shifting regulatory landscapes have transformed the way organisations operate. Traditional risk management approaches are no longer sufficient. To thrive in a D-VUCA environment, organisations must embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risk management into their strategy, governance, and operations.
This program equips boards, executives, risk professionals, and managers with the tools, frameworks, and competencies to navigate ESG risks, seize opportunities, and build long-term organisational resilience.
Objectives
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the concept of D-VUCA and its implications for ESG risk management.
-
Identify and assess ESG-related risks and opportunities within their organisation.
-
Apply global frameworks (e.g., TCFD, GRI, SASB, ISSB, EU Taxonomy, SDGs) in risk governance.
-
Strengthen board oversight, compliance, and reporting on ESG risks.
-
Integrate ESG risk management into enterprise risk management (ERM) and strategy.
-
Develop tools for scenario planning, stress testing, and resilience building.
-
Leverage technology, data, and analytics for effective ESG reporting and risk monitoring.
-
Build stakeholder trust and competitive advantage through transparent ESG practices.
