Sustainable Housing Development Initiatives

CIMB Group has reinforced its commitment to sustainable development through various initiatives aimed at addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges. The group has implemented strategies to reduce its carbon footprint, including setting decarbonization targets for high-emission sectors such as oil, gas, and real estate. CIMB has also mobilized significant funding for green, social, and sustainable impact products, amounting to over RM31 billion in 2024. These efforts align with the group's broader goal of achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2030 and overall net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, CIMB has introduced programs like SMEBizReady to empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with access to technology and sustainable business practices.

Beyond environmental initiatives, CIMB has focused on promoting financial inclusion and economic resilience. The group has provided RM7 billion in financing to low-income families across ASEAN and launched financial literacy programs such as JagaDuit to support long-term financial security. CIMB's sustainability efforts also extend to biodiversity conservation, as outlined in its 2024 Statement on Biodiversity and Nature. These initiatives reflect CIMB's dedication to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable economy, positioning the group as a leader in driving meaningful progress within the financial sector.
