Credit unions today are facing an onslaught of new pressures driven by changing social and environmental expectations, risks associated with unprecedented levels of transparency, and the changing demands of their members. Now more than ever before, boards are facing increased pressure to provide oversight through a new ESG lens. Our ESG Oversight and Climate Competency eClass focuses on new member expectations and helps boards tackle what’s required to address social expectations and provide climate governance in today’s world.

Over the course of two 90-minute sessions on July 23 and 25, you’ll explore the opportunities and risks associated with regulatory changes around climate governance and the social trends that are driving change. At the same time, you’ll build your board’s capacity to shift, adapt, and evolve as needed. After attending these two virtual sessions, your board will be equipped to answer the following questions: 

• What does Environmental, Social and Governance oversight look like in practice, within boards and committees?
• How can a board expand their ability to anticipate and respond to future challenges and opportunities? 
• What are the implications of increased corporate disclosure for directors?
• How is the risk landscape changing for credit unions and what does this mean for boards?

This course is delivered as part of the Credit Union Director Achievement (CUDA) Program. For directors looking to complete the CUDA Program, this course is recognized by Dalhousie University as a Level C elective and also qualifies for 3 continuing education (CE) credits for directors who are CUDA Graduates or who have achieved the Accredited Canadian Credit Union Director designation.
