Overview

Different industries will require different pathways towards net zero. Banks have numerous opportunities to craft tailored strategies for different industries, engaging their clientele effectively.

In this course, participants will be introduced to practical frameworks that they can adopt to design banking solutions and develop value propositions suited to facilitate net zero transition pathways and broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations for different industries. These efforts will also be in alignment with the participating bank's own net zero strategy.
 

Learning Objectives

At the end of the 2-day course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand a bank’s net zero commitments, and appreciate how different components stack up globally to impact the 2100 mean temperature scenario
  • Gain insight into the fundamental principles of developing holistic sustainable banking products and services, factoring in impact and value creation for broader ecosystem stakeholders
  • Recognise the critical parameters that allow different solutions to align with specific industry practices and nuances
  • Develop distinctive, industry-specific sustainable value propositions that deliver value to both customers and broader stakeholders

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
