Background:
Recently, Maybank presented its long-term sustainability commitments designed to propel the Group's growth and strengthen its position towards becoming a regional ESG leader by 2025. The commitments are part of the Sustainability strategic priority under the Group's M25 Plan and focus on achieving sustainable growth by enabling responsible transition to a low carbon economy, while at the same time, empowering communities and leading by example with good governance practices.
Under Maybank's strategic priority for Sustainability, four key sustainability commitments are to:
• Mobilise RM50 billion in Sustainable Finance by 2025,
• Improve the lives of 1 Million households across ASEAN by 2025
• Achieve a Carbon Neutral position for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and Net Zero Carbon Equivalent position by 2050, and
• Achieve 1 Million hours per annum on Sustainability Et Delivering 1 Thousand Significant Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-Related Outcomes by 2025.
