2022 had a lot of surprises for the risk management community, but equally, it brought forward lots of foreseen developments. The final parts of the Basel III reform are being implemented; supervisory concern and stakeholder pressure are growing over ESG risks; and finally, people risk entered the CROs’ world. How does a risk manager stay ahead of unknown emerging risks? How can risk managers make new known risks tangible? And what’s the best way to address them, in a qualitative and quantitative manner? Last year, we asked our valued community for their thoughts on these key matters, and here, we collated 10 of your favourites.

Plus, we hear from Monika Bączyńska, Director, Financial Resources Management Department, mBank, who shines a light on the unsung heroes of the 1st LoD, and Sven Ludwig, Regional Director, PRMIA, helps us answer the question: what does sustainability actually mean in banking practice?

Paving the way for a greener future in finance

Climate risks and the focus on ESGs and sustainability remains one of the most central topics within risk management. We know that to be the case, because we asked you, our valued community. In this eMagazine, we’ve also asked CROs to help us understand the biggest challenges ahead, which continues to be ESG focussed, but not necessarily climate change related. Federico Galizia, Chief Risk Officer, Inter-American Development Bank, (IDB), and Philippa Hertz, Chief Risk Officer, Risk & Governance, OneFamily, highlighted customer, colleague, and community well-being as a key concern moving forward, and integrating specific socio-environmental risk factors into existing frameworks will be a great challenge.
