Trustee Duties & Climate Risk in Pensions
Discharge fiduciary duty in a world pricing climate risk.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Green capital is available for credible trustee duties plans — and institutions that cannot produce one are financing their transition at conventional cost. Commitment inflation has a reckoning: targets your operations cannot meet become the next scandal, written in your own report. You leave with a transition blueprint your board can endorse, your lender will finance and your auditors will not qualify.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Build a credible trustee duties transition plan — targets, baselines, sequencing and capital.
- Lead trustee duties as strategy and risk, not as brochure-ware.
- Mobilise green and blended finance for trustee duties projects.
- Defend a trustee duties position before investors, lenders and communities.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Green Bond With a Leaky Framework
A regional bank issued the region’s first green bond to strong demand. Six months later, an NGO alleges 30% of proceeds financed activities the framework never intended — and the framework was written by the deal team, not by risk.
Your decision: Decide the response: disclosure, remediation, and who owns the next trustee duties framework.
IPAT Data Lab™
The trustee duties claims in a cement manufacturer’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.
Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.
Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
An assurance-ready trustee duties dataset and disclosure draft.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
