ESG – Singapore Financial Services

An IBF Accredited Course

Implementing ESG principles in Singapore financial services organisations. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) encourages organisations to act responsibly on environmental and social issues in the way they operate and do business. Underpinned by effective governance, this course illuminates the benefits of ESG – not only for businesses, investors, and consumers, but also for the planet and broader society.

This is an informative three-module course which provides a unique opportunity for organisations to upskill and enhance their employees’ understandings of ESG.

Framing the issue of climate change as a corporate concern:

  • Module 1: Will increase understandings of how organisations can ensure their operations are environmentally friendly.
  • Module 2: Will illuminate the role organisations play in creating a more equal society. The challenges of modern slavery and geopolitics are conveyed in an informative and effective manner, prompting learners to reflect on the importance of social governance.
  • Module 3: This module will enhance employees’ knowledge of the least understood yet most important dimension of ESG – governance. Learners will understand how different features of organisations can promote good governance.

Who should do this training?
This compliance training course is designed for all employees and employers alike. ESG is only effective when it is implemented by diverse stakeholders across entire supply chains. Boards of directors, managers, and employees all have a part to play in ensuring an organisation is sustainable, equitable and promotes good governance.

Personal Data Protection compliance training course- Singapore

An IBF Accredited Course

Handling personal data and personal data protection in Singapore or of people in Singapore and the importance of a privacy policy

Dealing with personal information

Privacy relates to any personal data  – whether true or not − that can identify us. We share personal data every day: in emails, text messages, photos, videos, credit cards and online banking. Modern technology has made it easy to send and store personal data. Businesses need to ensure their staff understand what is required of them when dealing with individuals’ personal information.

What is protection of Personal Data?

Privacy laws aim to protect our personal data. They are intended to ensure that organisations comply with set rules for handling this data. Any personal data that is accessed, kept or used by organisations must comply with these rules (unless an exemption applies).

What is the role of PDPA?

The Personal Data Protection Act, Singapore(PDPA) is a law that sets out the rules for handling personal data. It establishes open and fair processes for how organisations collect, use and disclose personal data, including data about their customers. Under the PDPA, any personal data stored by an organisation must be kept accurate, up-to-date and secure. The PDPA also gives individuals the right to access any personal data held about them and to ask for it to be corrected if it is wrong.

The PDPA applies to all individuals, companies, associations or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated whether located in or outside Singapore.
