Sustainability Vision: Building a Sustainable Future

RHB embarked on its sustainability journey in 2018 when the Group identified its sustainability material matters and defined its commitment. At RHB, our purpose goes beyond financial performance—we are committed to being a responsible financial services provider that drives meaningful, long-term impact. Sustainability has been a core focus of our Progress 27 corporate strategy since 2025, guiding how we operate, innovate and create value for our stakeholders.

By integrating sustainability and climate-related considerations into our business activities, operations and decision-making processes, we have not only driven positive environmental and social outcomes, but also strengthened our resilience, enhanced stakeholder confidence and positioned the Group as a forward-thinking, responsible financial services provider.

Together We Progress towards Net Zero

RHB’s Sustainable and Transition Finance (STF) Framework

The RHB Sustainable and Transition Finance (STF) Framework is Malaysia’s first comprehensive framework that integrates both sustainable and transition finance. It provides clear guidance for financing activities that contribute to environmental and social progress while supporting industries on their path toward a low-carbon economy.

Anchored on RHB’s RM90 billion Sustainable Finance commitment, the STF Framework establishes transparent criteria across Green, Social, and Transition categories. Independently validated by Sustainalytics, the framework reinforces RHB’s leadership in responsible banking and alignment with global sustainability standards. Through the STF Framework, RHB aims to build an inclusive ecosystem that empowers corporates, SMEs, and public institutions to drive meaningful and measurable change toward a sustainable future.
