Recognising the existential threat, countries around the world, within their jurisdictions, are declaring the climate emergency. The global call-to-action is to accelerate the transition to a climate-resilient, energy-efficient and low-carbon economy.

In 2019, at the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit, CIMB Group, our majority shareholders, pledged the support for the Collective Commitment to Climate Action. CIMB Group is one of the 38 Signatories (as at 1 October 2020), with over $13 trillion in assets, joining forces to build on the pioneering Katowice Commitment.

CIMB Niaga is working with the industry partners, peers, and other stakeholders to:

  • Focus our efforts where we have or can have the most significant impact, i.e., on the most carbon intensive and climate-vulnerable sectors within our portfolios.
  • Try to develop capabilities and methodologies to measure climate impact, align with global and local climate goals.
  • Assume public accountability for our climate impact and demonstrate leadership through progressive solutions.

Purpose

Develop mitigation strategies and measures to reduce our GHG emissions in CIMB Niaga

Objectives

Reduce energy consumption and eliminate waste without adversely affecting business operations by optimising energy use and adopting good energy management practices
