“Our RMs play a crucial role as catalysts in supporting our clients on their sustainability journeys. That is why we have invested in curating tailored workshops that go beyond the bank’s foundational sustainability curriculum so as to equip our RMs with the right tools to partner with our corporate clients effectively on their decarbonisation efforts,” says Yulanda Chung, DBS’ head of Sustainability for the Institutional Banking Group.
DBS has upskilled over 1,600 institutional banking relationship managers (RMs) and 170 credit risk managers (CRMs) to deepen their knowledge in sustainable financing practices through its Climate Activation Workshops.
The workshops were developed with external sustainability consultants, and have been going on since last December. Through them, participants gained a deeper understanding of climate risk, as well as practical tools to identify suitable transition and sustainable financing opportunities for their corporate clients.
