Regulators now expect institutions to account for the climate impact of their own operations and their clients’ — and to measure physical risk, the material damage of climate events, alongside transition risk from legislative and regulatory change. Climate stress tests are learning exercises, not pass-or-fail hurdles, but they expose vulnerabilities, practices and gaps that supervisors remember. This masterclass works through ESG reporting frameworks appropriate to your industry, how ESG risks feed credit analysis and credit ratings, and the principles of ESG, responsible banking and sustainable financing. The cohort compares climate stress-testing practices across banks, addresses the key challenges of scenario analysis, and builds an effective climate risk stress-testing framework aligned with business strategy and long-term resilience.

Frequently asked
Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?
Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.
Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?
Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.
How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?
Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.
Can a programme run in-house for our bank?
Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
