IFRS S2 & BCBS-aligned ESG Implementation Masterclas
âFuture-Proof Your Institution with Global ESG Standardsâ
Course Overview
The IFRS S2 & BCBS-aligned ESG Implementation Masterclass equips financial institutions in Uganda with the knowledge and tools to meet evolving global standards for climate and ESG risk management. With IFRS S2 now effective and the Basel Committeeâs ESG principles gaining traction, banks must adapt quickly to embed sustainability into their governance, risk, and reporting frameworks.
This session provides practical guidance on implementing ESG governance structures, conducting materiality assessments, performing scenario analysis, setting climate-related targets, and integrating ESG into ICAAP, ILAAP, ALM, and credit risk processes. Emphasis is placed on actionable strategies that align with both regulatory requirements and institutional realities.
Beyond compliance, the program helps institutions build internal capacity to produce credible ESG disclosures, meet supervisory expectations, and strengthen investor trust. Participants will leave with tools, and implementation roadmaps to lead ESG integration across their organizations with confidence.
