Historically, financial institutions have focused many of their risk management efforts on financial exposures directly attributed to core business activities. However, in recent times, non-financial risk (NFR) management with an emphasis on compliance and environment, social and governance (ESG) risks has moved up the policy and executive agendas, amid new regulations, a range of compliance issues (some leading to significant fines) and an increasing pressure to act as change agents in the transition towards a decarbonised economy. A robust NFR framework is indispensable in case of crises, so that necessary quick and effective reaction measures can be taken. This became unmistakably clear in the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, with unprecedented sanctions being imposed on Russia that heavily affect the global financial industry and non-financial sectors.

This handbook analyses the major success factors for meeting the requirements of modern non-financial risk management: an institution-specific target operating model (TOM) integrating all critical components – strategy, governance, risk management, information technology and data architecture including digitisation and artificial intelligence as well as ethics. The handbook has been written by senior NFR, compliance and ESG experts from key markets in Europe, the US and Asia, and it gives practitioners the necessary guidance to master the key challenges in today’s global risk environment. Each chapter includes key regulatory requirements, major implementation challenges, practical solutions and industry examples.
