It is a framework that companies use to evaluate and communicate their performance in these three key areas. Each component of ESG represents a different aspect of a company's impact and behavior:</li><li>Environmental (E): This refers to a company's impact on the environment. It includes considerations such as carbon footprint, energy efficiency, waste management, water usage, and other factors related to environmental sustainability. Companies that focus on environmental responsibility aim to minimize their negative impact on the planet</li><li>Social (S): This aspect focuses on a company's relationships with its employees, customers, communities, and other stakeholders. Social factors include labor practices, human rights, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, and other issues that relate to a company's social impact</li><li>Governance (G): Governance deals with a company's internal structures and processes that guide its decision-making. It includes issues such as board composition, executive compensation, shareholder rights, and overall corporate governance practices. Strong governance is essential for maintaining transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within a company</li><li>Investors, stakeholders, and consumers increasingly consider ESG factors when making decisions. Many believe that a company's performance in these areas can be indicative of its long-term sustainability and ethical practices. As a result, ESG has become an important consideration for investors seeking to align their investments with their values and for companies aiming to build trust and sustainability in the eyes of their stakeholders</li></ul> OSFI B15:<ul><li>Climate change and the global response to the threats it poses have the potential to significantly impact the safety and soundness of federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs), and the financial system more broadly. These risks, also known as "climate-related risks”, are broadly categorized as physical and transition risks.</li><li>"Physical risks” refer to the financial risks from the increasing severity and frequency of climate-related extremes and events (i.e., acute physical risks); longer-term gradual shifts of the climate (i.e., chronic physical risks); and indirect effects of climate change such as public health implications (e.g., morbidity and mortality impacts).</li><li>"Transition risks” refer to the financial risks related to the process of adjustment towards a low-greenhouse gas (GHG) economy. These risks can emerge from current or future government policies, legislation, and regulation to limit GHG emissions, as well as technological advancements, and changes in market and customer sentiment towards a low-GHG economy.</li><li>Physical and transition risks can also lead to liability risks, such as the risk of climate-related claims under liability policies, as well as litigation and direct actions against financial institutions for failing to manage their climate-related risks</li><li>Climate-related risks may manifest over varying time horizons, and are likely to intensify over time, especially if the global economy undergoes a disorderly transition. They can drive financial risks, such as credit, market, insurance, and liquidity risks. They can also lead to strategic, operational, and reputational risks. In severe instances, climate-related risks can threaten the long-term viability of a FRFI's business model</li><li>Building resilience against climate-related risks requires FRFIs to address vulnerabilities in their business model, their overall operations, and ultimately on their balance sheet. This entails forward-looking approaches that are holistic, integrated, and built on reliable empirical data and sound analyses. It also necessitates FRFIs to continuously monitor and incorporate developments in climate-related risk management, such as improving data quality and evolving risk measurement methodologies, into their governance and risk management practices</li></ul> CSRD:<ul><li>On the 21st of April 2021, the EU commission announced the adoption of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in line with the commitment made under the European Green Deal. The CSRD will amend the existing Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and will substantially increase reporting requirements on the companies falling within its scope in its efforts to expand the sustainability information for users.</li><li>The proposed directive will also entail a dramatic increase in the number of companies subject to the EU sustainability reporting requirements. The NFRD that is currently in place for reporting on sustainability information, covers approximately 11,700 companies and groups across the EU. The CSRD is expected to increase the number of firms subject to EU sustainability reporting requirements to approximately 49,000.</li></ul> Daily Responsibilities:<ul><li>Manage day-to-day program management deliverables & governance across all aspects of project delivery – both business & technology – aligning with the clients corporate standards & methodologies</li><li>Leading the charge to understand regulatory requirements and turn them into business requirements</li><li>Create Gap Analysis and Target Operating Models, Future State Analysis and Current state Analysis, Impact Assessments</li><li>Develop project artifacts including charter, integrated plan, resource plan, contingency plan, and related PM artifacts, while complying with applicable enterprise standards (e.g. Risk, Audit, Compliance)</li><li>Responsible for program integrated risk and issue management and tracking</li><li>Coordinate focus and working group committees to ensure the objectives of the project are met; includes engaging with business leaders to resolve issues & make decisions.</li><li>Monitor project deliverables to ensure proper resourcing is in place</li><li>Supports the project team in monitoring and controlling project activities including: risk, issues, status, communication, planning and execution.
