Our Sustainability Progress

  • Financing Post Pandemic Recovery
    Responsible financial institutions must continue to play a key role in facilitating and enabling not only a sustained economic recovery, but one that ensures no one is left behind, while building resilience in our social infrastructure.
  • Growing our Handprint
    We continue to develop innovative sustainable financial products and services to support clients to transition towards a low carbon economy. We have set a target to mobilise RM30 billion of sustainable finance by 2024.
  • Refreshed Organisational Values
    Launched a set of organisational values to deliver impact together through creating an environment that enables talent, drives passion, ensures integrity and accountability, promotes collaboration, and focuses on customer centricity.
  • Investing in our Communities
    We are committed to doing what we can to ensure that those at the margins of society can build a better life for themselves, their families and their communities.
  • Focus for 2022
    Moving forward, we will accelerate innovation in sustainable finance and ramp up green, social, sustainable products and services, in line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Financial Sector Blueprint target of channeling more than 50% of all new financing towards climate supporting and transitioning activities by 2026.
