Corporate Responsibility

At CIMB, we believe in giving back to the communities where we do business. It is our belief
that corporate responsibility is a virtuous cycle, where our support helps to build and grow
sustainable environments in which everyone prospers. Under these conditions, we are also able
to grow our own businesses and work towards our vision to be the leading ASEAN company. In
the past seven years we have run projects that have benefited over three million people across
ASEAN.

Community
Giving back to the community is very much a part of our DNA. CIMB Foundation, established
in November 2007, is one of ASEAN’s leading CSR advocates.

CIMB Foundation, which is tasked with strategising and implementing CIMB Group’s corporate
responsibility initiatives, has today disbursed nearly RM76 million to various programmes
related to community development, sports and education.

responsibility initiatives in the communities we serve.

Workplace
People are at the core of CIMB Group and so we enable them to achieve their full potential. We
engage with our staff in an open, honest and respectful manner and we are committed to
providing a workplace that cares about employee safety and promotes their health and well-
being. Our workplace programmes remain a key strength and we are widely regarded as an
employer of choice in ASEAN.

We offer a working environment that is respectful, and we see our employees as individuals who
deserve opportunities to develop. Helping people work effectively with one another across
different markets is a priority, and we achieve this through multicultural project teams and
overseas postings.

initiatives in the workplace.

Marketplace
In business, we commit to responsible marketplace practices to create value for stakeholders: our
customers, shareholders and business partners. As a universal bank, we serve all customers, from
the largest corporations to the individual retail customer, fulfilling all their financial needs.

Environment
Managing how our business affects the environment is key to being a responsible
organisation. We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and creating value
for stakeholders by enabling our staff and our business to become more environmentally-
friendly, offering green products and services to our customers, and empowering communities to
go green by promoting environmental awareness projects and campaigns, especially at schools
and universities.
