- Integrate & Transform: Support clients in embedding ESG and climate risks into their risk management frameworks (ICAAP, stress testing) and strategic steering, ensuring alignment with both local and international expectations.
- Navigate & Advise: Guide clients through the complex global and regional regulatory landscape, including Singapore's MAS guidelines on environmental risk management, ASEAN Taxonomy, and global frameworks like ISSB standards, TCFD, and the EU Taxonomy (for institutions with cross-border operations).
- Deliver & Innovate: Lead high-impact consulting projects, from climate risk quantification using advanced analytics to the development of transition plans and ESG data governance strategies.
- Engage & Influence: Translate complex analytical results into actionable insights for senior stakeholders across the APAC region, facilitating workshops and training sessions.
