CIMB Bank Berhad and CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad (CIMB), unveiled their first branch with integrated sustainable features located in a Green Building Index (“GBI”) certified building at IOI City Towers @ IOI Resort City, Putrajaya.
The branch is the first by CIMB to seamlessly incorporate environmental and social inclusion considerations into its design and operations, enabling the Bank to reduce its environmental impact and foster a more inclusive banking environment.
In line with its sustainable finance agenda, CIMB will take an ESG-first approach in promoting its suite of conventional and Islamic banking solutions at the branch, with offerings such as green home financing, electric vehicle (“EV”) financing, solar financing, ESG wealth products, B40 financing and environmentally-focused deposits.
The CIMB IOI City Mall branch comes equipped with tailored facilities, including a priority ATM lane with improved accessibility for customers with special needs – the first across the Bank’s Malaysian branch network, as well as wheelchair services, and designated low counters for over-the-counter transactions.
The branch also incorporates features that will help to reduce energy consumption and emissions, such as the use of energy-efficient cooling and lighting systems, certified sustainable construction materials with recycled content and reused office furniture.
The integration of sustainable features into its branch network will be core to CIMB’s approach as part of its commitment to achieve carbon neutral operations by 2030.
