To raise awareness about ESG, Maybank Investment Bank launched a #myimpactInvest campaign. Tengku Ariff Azhar Tengku Mohamed said, "Maybank Investment Bank has been at the forefront of ESG investing with our award-winning ESG research.

Driving the Sustainability Agenda, Raising Awareness of Impact Investment for a Nature Positive Economy: Last week, Puan Sharifah Sarah Syed Mohamed Tahir, our esteemed Group Chief Business Officer for Institutional Banking, eloquently took the spotlight on Niaga AWANI. She shared insights on the compelling topic of 'Impact Investing in Malaysia with a Strategic Approach.' Her personal take on Impact Investing? To ensure every ringgit spent responsibly benefits everyone; be it the environment, the community, the investors, and the financial institutions. Passionate about changing the narrative about how we should look at 'returns', and 'values', whilst trade offs may be foreseeable, she emphasises the importance of focusing on returns that align with sustainable, long-term positive impacts. In essence, the returns generated from investments should align with the meaningful contributions and values we seek to uphold. In addressing the pressing challenges posed by the climate crisis and emphasising Bank Islam's commitment to advancing the ESG agenda, Puan Sharifah Sarah implored the audience that there should be a need for sustained effort in moving towards ensuring the capital pumped into the economy will foster positive change to the environment and society to reflect the shared responsibility we all bear in driving meaningful change. To further our commitment in creating a nature positive economy for all, recently Bank Islam has launched Ihsan Sustainability Investment Account, a unique opportunity to invest in a sustainable future while earning competitive indicative return of 4.5% p.a.

Sustainable Investing: A Growing Trend with Real Impact Sustainable investing is becoming increasingly significant for both institutional and retail investors, though their motivations differ. Institutional investors often integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors to meet regulatory requirements and align with business strategies, while retail investors are driven by personal values and long-term financial sustainability. According to Jigar Shah from Maybank Investment Banking Group, institutions focus on regulatory compliance, whereas individual investors prioritize ethical considerations. This shift is evident in recent developments, such as Temasek's sustainability report showcasing a "sustainable living" portfolio valued at S$44 billion, illustrating that socially responsible investments can also be profitable. Key Points: - Profitability: Sustainable investments are not necessarily less profitable; companies that manage environmental risks and adapt to regulations often show resilience and attractive returns. - Investment Strategies: Retail investors can use various approaches like avoiding controversial sectors, integrating ESG factors, or focusing on sustainability themes such as climate change. - Cautions: Investors should be aware of greenwashing and evolving global sustainability standards to ensure their investments are genuinely aligned with their values and financial goals. For a successful sustainable investment strategy, it’s crucial to research companies' environmental impact, labor practices, and overall governance to align with both personal values and financial objectives. #TrueQualityCertifications #SustainableInvestment #Environment #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #CarbonEmissions Reetesh Kumar Jain
