JAKARTA. As part of its commitment to enhance sustainable finance implementation, PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk (CIMB Niaga) held a learning session focused on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, which is part of the Sustainability Yellow Belt Learning Series. This session was attended by CIMB Niaga employees from various strategic business segments, featuring Dr. Zainal Arifin, Head of Renewable Energy at PT PLN (Persero), as the main speaker.

This activity is part of the Sustainability Academy, an internal learning initiative by CIMB Niaga aimed at strengthening employee capabilities to support financing for green projects, particularly in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors. The program is developed based on regional references such as the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), along with tiered learning modules tailored to the needs of each job function within the bank.

Fransiska Oei, Director of Compliance, Corporate Affairs & Legal at CIMB Niaga, emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration to drive the national energy transition in her opening remarks. "Efforts in energy transition and efficiency require large-scale investments. This is where financial institutions play a crucial role in supporting innovative and sustainable financing solutions. We greatly appreciate the collaboration with PLN in sharing strategic insights with #teamCIMBNiaga," said Fransiska during the event's opening in Jakarta on Monday (14/7/2025).

In this session, Dr. Zainal Arifin presented the latest developments in renewable energy (EBT), national energy efficiency strategies, as well as the challenges and opportunities in financing clean energy projects in Indonesia. With extensive experience in the national electricity sector, Dr. Zainal provided practical perspectives for participants to be better prepared to support the energy transition financing agenda.

This activity also aligns with the spirit of The Cooler Earth (TCE), CIMB Niaga's sustainability initiative aimed at taking real action against climate change. Through TCE, CIMB Niaga continues to promote awareness and active participation from all parties, including employees, in supporting a greener, more inclusive, and sustainable future, in line with the spirit of the Bank #NowForTheFuture.

More than just internal learning, enhancing employees' understanding of sustainability issues directly benefits customers. With a stronger insight into energy transition and green financing, CIMB Niaga employees can offer more relevant, consultative, and value-added services, especially to businesses undergoing sustainable transformation towards a low-carbon economy.
