CIMB First Malaysian Bank To Complete 2030 Decarbonisation Targets
CIMB First Malaysian Bank To Complete 2030 Decarbonisation Targets
CIMB Group Holdings Berhad ("CIMB" or "the Group") has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first Malaysian bank to finalise its 2030 decarbonisation targets for high-emitting sectors, positioning itself firmly on the path towards achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The announcement underscores CIMB's proactive stance in addressing climate change through sector-specific strategies aimed at reducing carbon intensity across key portfolios.
聯昌國際集團控股有限公司（“CIMB” 或 “集團”）成爲第一家完成2030年高排放行業脫碳目標的馬來西亞銀行，從而實現了一個重要的里程碑，堅定地走上了到2050年實現淨零排放的道路。該公告強調了聯昌國際通過旨在降低關鍵投資組合碳強度的特定行業戰略應對氣候變化的積極立場。
The Group's comprehensive decarbonisation strategy focuses initially on its oil and gas and real estate portfolios, sectors recognised for their significant environmental impact. CIMB aims to reduce the emissions intensity of its oil and gas financing by 16% and its commercial real estate portfolio by 34% by the year 2030. These targets are part of CIMB's broader commitment to align its operations with the goals of the International Energy Agency's Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, adapted to the ASEAN context.
集團的全面脫碳戰略最初側重於其石油和天然氣及房地產投資組合，這些行業因其對環境的重大影響而受到認可。CIMB的目標是到2030年將其石油和天然氣融資的排放強度降低16％，將其商業房地產投資組合的排放強度降低34％。這些目標是聯昌國際更廣泛承諾的一部分，即使其業務與國際能源署適應東盟背景的《到2050年淨零排放情景》的目標保持一致。
Gurdip Singh Sidhu, CEO of CIMB Malaysia and CIMB Bank Berhad, emphasised the strategic importance of these targets in driving tangible progress towards sustainability. "By setting clear and measurable interim goals, CIMB demonstrates its accountability and dedication to facilitating a just transition across ASEAN," he stated. He highlighted CIMB's role in supporting clients' transitions to sustainable practices while enhancing climate resilience in the region.
聯昌國際馬來西亞分行和聯昌銀行有限公司首席執行官古爾迪普·辛格·西德胡強調了這些目標在推動可持續發展方面取得切實進展方面的戰略重要性。他說：“通過設定明確和可衡量的中期目標，聯昌國際銀行表現出其對促進整個東盟公正過渡的問責制和決心。”他強調了聯昌國際在支持客戶向可持續實踐過渡同時增強該地區氣候適應能力方面發揮的作用。
The bank's decarbonisation plans are meticulously crafted to align with national policies and regulatory frameworks in the countries where CIMB operates. This approach not only reinforces CIMB's commitment to sustainability but also strengthens partnerships with stakeholders to achieve shared environmental objectives.
該銀行的脫碳計劃經過精心制定，以符合聯昌國際銀行運營所在國家的國家政策和監管框架。這種方法不僅加強了聯昌國際對可持續發展的承諾，而且加強了與利益相關者的夥伴關係，以實現共同的環境目標。
CIMB's commitment extends beyond emissions reduction. Starting January 2025, the Group will halt new financing for upstream oil fields approved post-2021, aligning with global energy transition imperatives. While CIMB acknowledges the pivotal role of natural gas in the region's energy security, it remains committed to supporting initiatives that reduce dependence on coal, particularly within the power sector.
聯昌國際的承諾不僅限於減排。從2025年1月起，集團將停止對2021年後批准的上游油田的新融資，以符合全球能源轉型的當務之急。儘管聯昌國際承認天然氣在該地區能源安全中的關鍵作用，但它仍然致力於支持減少對煤炭依賴的舉措，特別是在電力行業。
Luanne Sieh, Group Chief Sustainability Officer, underscored the holistic nature of CIMB's sustainability efforts. "This milestone marks the beginning of a comprehensive integration of sustainability into our core business processes," she affirmed. CIMB is actively embedding sustainable finance solutions through its Green, Social, Sustainable Impact Products and Services (GSSIPS) framework, aimed at driving real economy decarbonisation and ensuring a just transition for all stakeholders.
集團首席可持續發展官Luanne Sieh強調了聯昌國際可持續發展工作的整體性質。她肯定說：“這一里程碑標誌着可持續發展開始全面整合到我們的核心業務流程。”CIMB正在通過其綠色、社會、可持續影響產品和服務（GSSIPS）框架積極嵌入可持續金融解決方案，旨在推動實體經濟脫碳並確保所有利益相關者的公正過渡。
In addition to achieving its 2030 climate targets, CIMB has tripled its sustainable finance target to RM100 billion by 2024, recording over RM80 billion as of December 2023. This trajectory reaffirms CIMB's leadership in sustainable finance within the banking sector, bolstered by its recent election into the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) Steering Group.
除了實現其2030年氣候目標外，聯昌國際還將其可持續融資目標提高了三倍，到2024年達到 RM100 億美元，截至2023年12月，錄得超過800億令吉。這一軌跡重申了聯昌國際銀行在銀行業可持續金融領域的領導地位，而聯昌國際最近當選淨零銀行聯盟（NZBA）指導小組則進一步鞏固了聯昌國際在銀行業可持續金融領域的領導地位。
