Social Finance at BIMB BIMB established the Centre of Social Finance in January 2020 to provide clearer direction and more effective implementation of our social finance agenda by connecting existing banking products, services and initiatives with traditional Islamic social finance instruments. Prior to its establishment, our social finance agenda was nurtured within the Shariah Division of the Group. Our clear approach to social finance is defined as follows: “SOCIAL FINANCE IS AN APPROACH TO STRATEGICALLY OFFER BANKING PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND INITIATIVES BEYOND TRADITIONAL BANKING WHICH DELIVER SOCIAL IMPACTS AND ECONOMIC RETURNS, WITH THE UNDERLYING FOCUS TO NURTURE THE UNBANKED TO BECOME BANKABLE.” INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 202 1 Key Messages Overview Value Creation MD&A Sustainability Leadership Accountability Financial Additional Information 125
