CIMB recognises the profound importance of biodiversity and ecosystem integrity, as they underpin essential ecosystem services crucial for both people and businesses. The disruption caused by overexploitation of natural ecosystems necessitates a commitment to safeguard and enhance these vital components. CIMB is committed to playing our part in protecting and enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem integrity.
Failing to account for nature-related risks in our financing portfolio could expose us to reputational damage and significant financial risks, including physical, transition, and systemic risks. CIMB's long-term approach involves managing potential negative impacts from financing, and concurrently delivering products and services that positively impact the environment and society, thus creating a balance between risk management and positive societal contributions.
