BDO ESG risk assessment tool

Credit risk affects all our clients across the financial institutions and is determined by a number of different variables. However, Environmental, Social and Governance – ESG - factors are usually not considered.
For financial institutions, it is important to assess to which extent their corporate customers are exposed to these risks and how they address them, especially in their credit risk assessment. BDO’s ESG risk assessment tool can help handle applications efficiently. The comprehensive risk questionnaire ensures that a financial institution has considered all ESG - related factors and their impact on its credit risk.
BDO ensures that the ESG risk assessment tool fits into a financial institution's current credit process, which allows for seamless integration of the tool into the overall credit strategy, credit policy and credit handbooks.
