Our Roadmap | Sustainability | CIMB

Our Roadmap operationalises our principles, guiding strategies for sustainable impact. Encompassing our operations and stakeholders, it addresses crucial concerns for net positive effects on the economy, communities, and environment. Aligned with Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) principles, it embodies action based on benefit and harm prevention. Covering Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance (EES&G) aspects, the roadmap propels holistic sustainability.

Governance ensures that we are meeting expectations and carrying out our mandate for sustainability, while also mitigating risks in the business. It is intended to future-proof and put in place controls that limit the organisation’s risk exposure, which also ensure commercial sustainability. Implementing appropriate policies and practices reinforces a healthy culture of integrity and transparency throughout the organisation.
