Linkedin – ESG for Commercial Lenders

Learn how ESG factors influence risk assessments and credit decisions for commercial lenders.
Course details
This course examines how ESG (environmental, social, and governance) factors influence risk assessments and credit decisions for private, small, and middle-market commercial lenders. ESG factors can affect a company's ability to service debt obligations but are often either overlooked or misinterpreted. Further, many financial institutions face a disconnect between actions at the individual borrower level and the lender's own ESG profile, including how to manage messaging to stakeholders. This course is aimed to help credit professionals understand the impact that sustainability practices—or a lack thereof—can have on a company's risk profile and disclosure practices.
Learn how climate risks may affect business operations as well as its physical collateral, and how changes to a borrower's reputation can impact its supply chain and financial results. The course also includes an interactive case study that lets you analyze a borrowing client and conduct downside sensitivity analysis in Excel using an ESG lens.
Note: This course was created by the Corporate Finance Institute. We are pleased to host this training in our library.
