Description
A high-level, executive-focused program designed to equip board members and senior management with a clear understanding of ESG regulatory obligations, governance responsibilities, and strategic implications within the Jordanian banking and capital markets landscape.
The program focuses on Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) ESG and climate-risk expectations, Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) sustainability disclosure requirements, and the board’s role in overseeing ESG integration, climate risk, and sustainable finance-without going into technical implementation.
