CIMB Bank Berhad's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from CIMB Group Holdings Berhad

CIMB Bank Berhad, headquartered in Malaysia (MY), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The bank's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are inherited from its parent company, CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, at a cascade level of 2. As of now, CIMB Bank Berhad has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor does it have documented reduction initiatives. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. CIMB Bank Berhad's commitment to addressing climate change is reflected in its affiliation with CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, which may have broader sustainability initiatives in place. However, without specific emissions data or targets, it is challenging to assess the bank's direct impact on carbon emissions or its progress towards climate goals.
