• E11: A conversation about social security challenges for board members in Liechtenstein with residence in Switzerland or an EU State

  In this episode, we explore the social security challenges faced by individuals who hold board mandates in Liechtenstein while residing in Switzerland or an EU state. These cross-border roles can complicate the determination of which social security system applies. We discuss the general rule that board members are typically subject to the social security system of their primary country of residence, but complexities arise when the board mandate in Liechtenstein is secondary or if the individual has no primary occupation in their home country.

  In this episode, we dive into the EBA Guidelines on ESG Risk Management and explore how they aim to support financial institutions in managing ESG risks across multiple sectors.

We discuss how ESG risks should be integrated into traditional financial risk categories, including credit, market, and liquidity risks, and how scenario analysis and transition planning are essential tools in the process.
