ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Due Diligence in Project Finance

**ESG Due Diligence** is no longer a peripheral concern but a fundamental component of risk management, particularly in long-term **Project Finance** and development lending. Failure to adequately assess environmental, social, and governance risks can lead to significant financial loss, legal liability, and reputational damage. This course provides a practical, systematic framework for conducting comprehensive ESG due diligence across the project life cycle. Participants will learn to apply global standards (e.g., IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles) to identify material risks, establish mitigation measures, and ensure continuous monitoring of project compliance, safeguarding both the investment and local communities.
