Context:

Within EC Risk, GEMS Risk Origination Oversight ensures a smooth validation process for origination files presented to the Origination Committee (“OC”) and to the Investment Committee (“IC”) in accordance with the GEMS and Group’s governances.

While the standard transactions are executed by the Business Platform within their delegation (through risk or commercial mandates), GEMS enters from time to time into large and complex transactions over the medium or long-term horizon.

If the transaction falls outside the existing mandate, an OC decision may be requested.

These files consist of a diversity of transactions (solar, onshore/offshore wind PPAs, gas off-take agreements, biomass purchase and sale agreements, projects with Capex/equity investment, transactions with prepayment…) which entail a broader spectrum of risks (such as market risks, credit risks, regulatory risk, CSR, legal risks…).

The main role of GEMS Risk Origination Oversight is to ensure the completeness of the file submitted for decision to the OC/IC and the production of independent Risk and Legal notes in close cooperation with support function teams (Credit, KYC, Market Risk, Finance, CSR, New business and Legal teams).
