CIMB Niaga remains committed to actively involving its employees in the Employee Volunteer Program, which aligns with its four CSR pillars. In 2024, Bank required each employee to participate in CSR activities for a minimum of 4 hours per year, an increase from 3 hours per year in 2023. These hours are counted as part of employees' key performance indicators (KPI). By the end of 2024, Bank recorded a total of 70,859 employee volunteer hours, averaging 5.90 hours per employee who participated in the program. This achievement reflects employees' dedication to provide a positive impact for the environment and/or social.
In 2024, the Employee Volunteer Program was carried out both individually and bankwide. Individual activities included waste management, charity runs/walks, teaching, cleaning rivers, schools, or places of worship, and blood donation. Meanwhile, bankwide activities that involved all employees in the Employee Volunteer Program included:
- A Better Climate and Environment (ABCDE) Challenge, a program that was initiated in 2023, encourages employees to participate in environmental conservation efforts around their homes by collecting inorganic waste. The collected waste is then delivered to waste banks, waste collectors, or environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) near the employees’ residences. By the end of the program, a total of 2.36 tons of waste was collected, consisting of 45% paper waste, 24% plastic, 13% used cooking oil, and 18% electronic waste. This initiative aims to reduce household waste from ending up in landfills (TPSA) and promote better waste management practices.
- Aksi Peduli dan Kado untuk Akhir Tahun, a program encouraging employees to collect gently used clothing and books for donation to various distribution organizations, including Donasi Barang, Barang Berkah, Sedekah Barang Bekas Berkualitas, and Yayasan Amal Sholeh Sejahtera. Aksi Peduli was held in conjunction with CIMB Niaga’s 69th anniversary and took place simultaneously in Medan, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Bali, Makassar, Surabaya, and Jakarta, while Kado Akhir Tahun was conducted in Jakarta. These two initiatives successfully collected 5,815 pieces of clothing and 1,835 books for donation.
