The Group recognises the necessity of developing knowledge and enhancing employee capacities for effective sustainability and climate-related practice implementation. To this end, the Group is designing a Sustainability Learning Framework, which aims to identify and address our employees' learning needs across the Group. In 2023, our Directors and management undertook various sustainability and climate-related capacity building, including sessions organised internally, the BNM JC3 Annual Conference, and external events by Bursa Malaysia, Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM), Kuala Lumpur Finance Forum 2023, and others. Management also engaged in climate risk training since 2022, reinforced by our annual Sustainability Workshops. We have also conducted training for our employees in collaboration with Asian Banking School (ABS) to better understand sustainability aspects in the financial sector, as well as climate-related risks and opportunities. These training programme include initiatives to increase climate change awareness. We have designed climate related training for our bank-wide operational risk officers and risk controllers which is being rolled out and will be completed in 2024. This training aims to provide our risk officers and risk controllers with an understanding of climate change, climate related risks and our enhanced operational risk management tools to be able to effectively identify and assess climate related risks in their day-to-day functions. Climate change is an evolving landscape, we recognise that continuous development and capacity building are necessary for the Bank. Going forward we will continue to invest in capacity building initiatives to deepen our understanding on climate risk and opportunities.
