Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to advancing women in leadership and fostering a culture where female talent can thrive. Our approach is anchored in merit-based progression, supported by dedicated initiatives such as the CIMB Signature Leadership programmes and targeted skills development designed to empower women.

We recognise that leadership journeys are strengthened by an inclusive and supportive environment. Through flexible work arrangements, family-friendly policies and comprehensive benefits, we enable women to pursue their professional ambitions while balancing personal responsibilities. To drive lasting change, we continue to engage senior leaders through our Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Series Dialogue, reinforcing our commitment to gender equity at every level.

Fairness in compensation is central to CIMB’s commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunities. We continue to prioritise equality in economic participation, closely monitoring gender pay equity as a key measure of our progress. As of 2024, the gender pay ratio at the Group level remains balanced at 1.00 (male) to 1.01 (female), consistent with our commitment to maintaining parity and a pay gap that stays within a 5% threshold.

By continuously monitoring and addressing gender pay equality, we reaffirm our dedication to building a workplace where all employees, regardless of gender, are recognised, valued and compensated equitably for their contributions.

We are dedicated to building a workplace culture that embraces diversity and fosters inclusion through thoughtful policies, learning programmes and awareness initiatives. By promoting openness and equity, we aim to create an environment where every individual feels valued, respected and empowered to grow.

Our training programmes are designed to inspire and equip employees with the tools to navigate and thrive in diverse teams. From recognising unconscious bias to strengthening communication and promoting inclusive leadership, we continue to embed diversity and inclusion into everyday practices across the organisation.
