Following Mr. Yeun Phally’s presentation, our second guest speaker, Mr Ouk Thanin, Head
of Products Management and Sustainability, dived deeper into the main topic of the event
address on “Delivering Positive impacts: CIMB’s Sustainable Finance Journey”.Under this
topic, he was focus on several main key points which included the importance of sustainability to
CIMB, their journey to sustainability , integrate sustainability, Maximizing impacts through
sustainable business, and introduce to CIMB’s current offered products and services.
Mr. Thanin began by highlighting the growing environmental concerns.He demonstrated
the Earth’s declining biocapacity and the effects of human activities on the climate. He pointed
out recent environmental disasters, such as floods, storms, droughts, and animal extinction, as
evidence of this damage. Mr. Thanin stated that businesses are part of the problem, and therefore
can be part of the solution. During the presentation, He spoke on CIMB’s specific journey
toward becoming a more sustainable financial institution. CIMB brought out a basic value of
achieving a balance between people, planet, and profit. This demonstrates their dedication to
social responsibility, environmental sustainability, and financial performance. CIMB's purpose
goes beyond financial benefit. CIMB aspires to be a high-performing and sustainable
organization that contributes positively to the advancement of their customers and society as a
whole. Mr. Thanin underlined the relationship between company success and sustainability. He
also stated that climate change poses a significant risk to global financial assets, making
sustainable activities both ethical and financially prudent. New market opportunities emerge in
sectors such as transition finance, which helps businesses shift to more sustainable practices.Mr.
Thanin continued to share details on CIMB's sustainable journey. CIMB's commitment to
sustainability began with the foundation of the CIMB Foundation in 2007, which is likely to
have played a significant impact in driving their CSR and philanthropic programs. In 2019,
CIMB became a founding signatory to the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking,
confirming their commitment to a global framework for sustainable banking practices. In the
next year, 2020, CIMB took two significant steps. First, it introduced the Green, Social, and
Sustainable Impact Products and Services Framework (GSSIPs). Furthermore, in 2020, CIMB
Cambodia localized its strategy and policy approval power. Finally, in 2021, CIMB's
commitment to sustainability is reinforced with the announcement of a Sustainability Scorecard
and metrics.
