Mitihoon – Bangkok, 8 August 2025 – CIMB THAI Bank PCL today unveiled its “Sustainability360” at the third edition of its flagship sustainability forum, The Cooler Earth Thailand 2025. This year’s forum, held in collaboration with the Malaysian-Thai Chamber of Commerce (MTCC) at JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok, underscores the bank’s ambition to drive cross-border sustainable growth and leverage regional synergies to support Thailand’s sustainability aspirations.
The Sustainability360 builds upon CIMB THAI’s strong record in sustainable finance by providing corporate and institutional clients with comprehensive assistance in designing and structuring green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked financial instruments. The program covers the entire financing lifecycle—from taxonomy alignment and framework preparation, external second-party opinions and assurance coordination, to comprehensive impact reporting support.
Jason Lee, Head of Sustainability at CIMB THAI, highlighted that Thai businesses now face increasingly sophisticated expectations from investors, regulators and stakeholders: “The days of vague sustainability claims are over. Today, credibility, transparency and rigor matter. Our Sustainability360 ESG Advisory Program brings together seasoned experts across capital markets, climate science and regulatory compliance. Led by practitioners skilled in financing and capital raising, taxonomy alignment and impact reporting, our team helps the bank’s clients navigate the complexity of sustainable finance and delivers structures that resonate with global investors.”
Since launching its sustainability efforts, CIMB THAI has steadily gained recognition in the region. In 2024, the bank won the prestigious Best Sustainability-Linked Loan – Scope 1 & 2 award at The Digital Banker’s Global Sustainable Finance Awards for structuring a landmark THB 3 billion Sustainability-Linked Loan embedding rigorous emissions reduction targets. The same year, it was named Sustainability Rising Star at the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability ACES) Awards, affirming its leadership in pioneering innovative, sustainability-driven financial products in Thailand. CIMB THAI also broke new ground in October 2024 with Thailand’s first THB 2 billion subordinated green bond, earmarking proceeds for renewable energy and low-carbon transportation.
Wut Thanittiraporn, President and CEO of CIMB THAI, noted: “Under CIMB Group’s Forward30 strategy, CIMB THAI is recognized as a critical growth-market franchise. The launch of our Sustainability360 is fully aligned with the Group’s target to mobilize RM 300 billion in sustainable finance by 2030. By empowering our clients to integrate robust sustainability practices into their business strategies, we accelerate Thailand’s transition towards a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable economy.”
With Thai regulators intensifying their focus on climate and ESG-related disclosures, and international investor demand for sustainable financial products rapidly rising across ASEAN, CIMB THAI’s latest initiative provides timely support for local businesses navigating this new landscape. Leveraging regional insights and extensive networks across ASEAN through the CIMB Group, Sustainability360 promises to reinforce the bank’s position as a trusted partner for businesses pursuing impactful and sustainable growth.
