Environment sustainability is prescribed in the Smart Spending Policy where Green Office initiatives make part of the bank's plan to become a green member of the future banking industry. The green office practice entails cutting down costs of operation by reducing, a.o., paper, electricity and fuel consumptions.
The following describes how CIMB Niaga complies with the green policy:
- Using Less Paper
- Using multi-function printers for scanning documents and sending faxes in order to avoid excessive printouts.
- Optimizing the use of e-mails and the company's internal website..
- Re-using as much used paper as possible.
- Going paperless by preparing and distributing e-statements for e-billing.
- Conserving Energy
- Turning off electric appliances and equipment after office hours.
- Switching to fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Having energy-efficient electrical wiring systems installed (with energy-saving light bulbs, zoning application and light fittings).
- Waste and Emission Control

It is, however, a goal for the bank to minimize such trips, and for this to work, it optimizes the use of information technology for communication purposes. Tele-conference and video conference are preferred. Fuel efficiency is one of many ways CIMB Niaga takes to keep emission under control, and will in the future become a parameter on which performance is measured.
