Sustainability and Value Based Intermediation Awareness Survey for Financial Institutions
The purpose of this Sustainability and Value Based Intermediation Awareness (“SVBI”) Survey for Malaysian Financial Institutions is to gauge the sustainability initiatives by the financial institutions in line with VBI and Climate Change and Principe-based Taxonomy (“CCPT”), which are introduced by Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”).
VBI is a strategy to strengthen the roles and impact of Islamic financial institutions (“IFIs”) towards a sustainable financial ecosystem. The application and implementation of VBI is new but financial institutions in Malaysia have, in many innovative ways, shown its commitment to VBI.
The results of the survey will enable KPMG and IBFIM to develop a report that illustrates the current development by financial institutions in Malaysia in the implementation of VBI. The survey will take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete, and responses will be kept confidential.
