Manage direct environmental impacts
of our operations.
We are able to report on our footprint across
all six strategic buildings in Malaysia for GHG
emissions.
t
We aim to increase the coverage of reporting
of our direct environmental impacts relating
to electricity, waste, and water usage across
Malaysia.
Our environmental management has improved and reflects our commitment to running a long-term focused business. We have made progress in energy
efficiency, waste management, and creating a paperless environment.
Towards this end, we reduced our carbon footprint by cutting down on our electricity usage. Thanks to innovative e-banking and internal solutions, we
have managed to reduce the amount of paper used significantly. Our medium-term strategy is to produce a framework to identify and map approaches to
reduce our impact. This way, we will better understand the implications of our business to the environment.
The Property Go Green Council (PGGC) has been addressing environmental
issues within the Group since 2011. The committee is led by the Head of
Property, Security & Valuation (Executive Vice President), and its members
are vice presidents and officers from Property, Security & Valuation.
Together with the IT Transformation Programme (ITTP), the PGGC has
conducted studies in order to find solutions to resource scarcity such as
food, paper, and water. The council is tasked with managing our Group-wide
environmental strategy. With our 20/20 Sustainability Plan in place, we
hope to report on the work of the Council more comprehensively.

ManagingOur Environmental Impacts
Since setting our vision to be a regional financial services leader, we have undergone a shift in
our operations, which includes changing our environmental management. Our stakeholders are
increasingly aware of global environmental risks and expect us to respond accordingly.
Our environmental footprint is significant, especially if our indirect impact through our lending and
investment decisions is taken into account. As we continue to grow regionally, our direct impact to
the environment also expands. We have made commitments to reduce our footprint through energy
efficiency, water management, and waste reduction initiatives and we will continue to dedicate
resources towards those goals.
Environmental issues create risks and opportunities for us, especially in emerging markets. We
are taking steps to incorporate environmental impacts and build the data, tools, and transparency
required to embed these impacts into our strategies.
