RESPONSIBILITYREPORT
When trying to become a more environmentally friendly organisation, it is
important to think of it as an on-going mission rather than a one-off project.
Building it into the Bank’s values is important for the intention to materialise
and get the rest of the workforce motivated.
While we started the initiatives for the year by educating and motivating our
employee to be eco-friendly, at corporate level, EXIM Bank demonstrated
its environmental concern and awareness through the extensive renovation
of its own headquarters. Renovated at a cost of RM5 million, the new look
of EXIM Bank building is “dressed” with advanced composite cladding
materials that are non-toxic and recognised as environmentally friendly.
Apart from weather resistance, the structure reduces noise and the use of
energy whilst reducing heat permeation, making the working environment
more conducive. In addition to the environment-friendly building, EXIM
Bank can also be proud of a property that improves its image.
At the workforce level, we started by implementing a structured approach
in building up an eco-friendly attitude and concern for the environment
through the following stages:
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
Internalise the importance of environmental responsibility
among staff in order to improve EXIM Bank’s impact on
society and the environment, while driving stronger business
results such as brand enhancement, market differentiation,
employee satisfaction and cost-saving administration.
• Broaden and deepen the awareness of environmental matters among
the workforce.
• Promote social contributions (volunteer activities, etc.) with the
participation of EXIM Bank’s staff.
• Implement EXIM Bank’s Eco-friendly activities to benefit the staff, the
community where the staff live and work, and ultimately the Bank.
