CIMB makes headway on the sustainability front

CIMB Group Holdings Bhd is making steady progress on the sustainability front, having recently achieved a key target to be ranked in the top quartile of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) by 2024 three years ahead of schedule. That target had been set as a key metric for tracking CIMB’s ambition of becoming a sustainability leader in Asean by 2024, group chief sustainability officer Gurdip Singh Sidhu tells The Edge in his first interview since taking on the role in September. Formerly the group chief strategy and design officer at CIMB, Gurdip is now also its chief people officer, a role he took on in October last year.
