Overview

It is a common belief that if you specialise in an area for too long, you are stuck in it and career changes become impossible, but is it really?

Come join us as we chat with Ms Chng Bee Leng, Head, Group Risk Policy, ESG Risk and Sustainability at OCBC Bank to learn about her career journey – from starting in consumer credit to her pivoting into the ESG space in the Financial Sector. Useful lessons and reflections for those planning your own career pivot into the ESG and Climate Risk space.

About the Speaker

Ms Chng Bee Leng is Head, Group Risk Policy, ESG Risk and Sustainability in OCBC Bank. Since 2018, she has been leading the Bank's efforts in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk management and sustainability, in addition to overseeing the Group Risk's enterprise risk and credit risk policy management.

A veteran banker with 27 years of banking experience, Bee Leng has helmed various leadership positions in consumer banking business and risk management within OCBC. Her extensive banking experience and institutional knowledge have been instrumental in integrating and advancing OCBC Bank's sustainability agenda and building ESG and climate risk capabilities.

Besides setting the OCBC Group credit policy standards, her department plays the role of Centre of Excellence in providing expert advisory on ESG and climate risk management, calibrating the OCBC Group’s ESG risk standards, and integrating the ESG risk assessment in the credit process. To strengthen the Bank's ESG risk management, OCBC became an Equator Principles' signatory since December 2020. Her team partnered with key internal stakeholders on the implementations of the MAS Environmental Risk Management Guidelines and Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and build climate capabilities to mitigate climate risks and enable net zero transition.

Bee Leng represents OCBC in various industry initiatives, including the MAS-ABS Workgroup for the development of the MAS Environmental Risk Management Guidelines and a workstream member of the Green Finance Industry Taskforce.

Bee Leng was conferred the IBF Fellow Award in Risk Management in 2022.
