Context

Within Risk Control, the Transversal Processes & Origination Oversight team ensures a smooth validation process for origination files presented to the Investment Committee (“IC”) in accordance with the S&EM and Group’s governances. It is also in charge of supporting origination business with Economic Value Analysis (EVA) in interaction with front office (S&EM activities).

While the standard transactions are executed by the Business Platform within their delegation (through risk or commercial mandates), S&EM 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 the Origination Oversight is to ensure the completeness of the file submitted for decision to the IC, 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) and the calculation of the Economic Value Analysis (EVA) indicator.
