In response to these risks, Bank has developed its business strategy by incorporating the core elements of the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). Throughout 2021, there were no disasters that affected business processes and threatened the health of CIMB Niaga employees. Bank has developed a “High Sustainability Risk Sector List” to manage climate change risks by identifying sectors that may be impacted by climate change, including agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU). The document was drafted using the scientific method and incorporated references from the latest international publications, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). The findings of the study indicate the degree to which each sector is vulnerable to sustainability risks, such as climate change and water scarcity. Additionally, Bank continues to engage in dialogue with stakeholders, both internally and externally, by allocating funds to support sustainability literacy efforts, including those related to climate change. Up to the end of 2021, Bank allocated special budget funds for climate change adaptation and mitigation financing through the Sustainability-linked Loan/Financing and Sustainable Finance program schemes. 85 “Recognizing the risks of climate change, CIMB Group is one of the 38 members of UNEP FI, where CIMB Niaga, as part of CIMB Group, supports the collective commitment to Climate Action and aligns business strategies with the Paris Agreement goals target towards a low carbon economy.” 2021

SR Asia assigned several experts to engage as the Assurance Team members in Indonesia. The Assurance Team conducted the pre-engagement protocol to identify the risks of engagement and potential factors that could negatively influence the independence and impartiality of the Assurance Team. In a kick-off meeting, the Assurance Team presented to the Bank the assurance methods and approaches, as well as the scope of analysis, time plan, and various essential aspects to be evaluated in the assurance work. The Assurance Team conducted a preliminary analysis of the Report draft submitted by the Bank. Through online meetings, the Assurance Team shared the results of the initial analysis with the Management and verified the disclosures in the Report content against the regulation, standards, principles, and indicators of AA1000AS v3, AA1000AP (2018), GRI Standards ad FSSS, POJK 51, SUSBA, GISD, and TCFD.

The Assurance Team submitted the Statement to the Bank and prepared a Management Letter presenting all aspects seen, recorded, and observed during the assurance work to the Management of the Bank for further improvement of sustainability processes. Adherence to AA1000AP (2018) and GRI Standards Inclusivity – The presentation of the stakeholder groups in the Report is inclusive. The Bank has also committed to being accountable for the impacts of its decisions and activities. As indicated in the Report content, the Bank has implemented various approaches and methods in stakeholder engagement managed by different functions and units. Competencies and resources have also been well allocated by the Bank and sufficient for stakeholder engagement. Materiality – At a certain level, the identification and presentation of material topics in the Report are adequate. The six material topics recognized as “highly material” by the Reporting Organization can explain its sustainability context as a financial service institution. However, in the future, the Bank needs to perform material testing documented as evidence for the next sustainability report. Responsiveness – In general, the Bank has sufficiently developed and communicated responses with stakeholders. The Bank has managed responses by considering the needs and concerns as well as expectations of the stakeholders. Nevertheless, no evidence is found that the Bank has considered the relationship between maturity, impact, and prioritization of a topic and the appropriateness of the response. Impact – As assurance work is taken, we have concluded that the Report presents sufficiently the data, information, and disclosures regarding the impacts of the Bank on the economy, society, and environment.

  109. PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk Sustainability Report Statement of Use : “Reference to the GRI Standards” – Our Assurance Team has assessed the Report content against the GRI requirements for reporting to the GRI Standards. We concluded that the Report has met the three requirements; publish a GRI Content Index; provide a statement of use; and notify GRI. GRI Standards Principles – As the assurance work and procedures are taken, the sustainability reporting principles (accuracy, balance, clarity, comparability, completeness, sustainability context, timeliness, and verifiability) are well applied in the Report content. During the assurance process, the Management also provided sufficient evidence documents and supporting data and information. Type 2 Assurance – The Bank has started developing mechanisms, processes, and control systems related to carbon emissions inventory and reduction. Policies, mechanisms, and procedures related to climate change are already in place and well implemented. The Bank is going to set its carbon emission baseline and develop the climate change and transition strategies for the period up to 2050, as the Bank will phase out the coal mining and coal power plant funding from its portfolio up to that year. Nevertheless, the Bank is expected to engage an external party to monitor, evaluate, and validate the initiative, and also to encourage the debtors to reduce carbon emissions from business operations and publicly disclose their achievements. Recommendation 1. 2. To carry out materiality testing documented as the evidence and basis for identifying material topics with clear and justified criteria and thresholds. To engage an external independent party in monitoring, evaluating, and validating the climate and transition strategies following the globally accepted management system, standards, and best practices.
