AmBank Group Named Malaysia’s Best Bank for Corporate Responsibility by Euromoney
Market Impact
KUALA LUMPUR – AmBank Group has been awarded Malaysia’s Best Bank for Corporate Responsibility at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, recognizing its leadership in sustainable and inclusive growth through community empowerment, financial inclusion, and environmental stewardship.
The accolade highlights AmBank’s integrated approach to corporate responsibility, anchored by its AmGroup Foundation and the Winning Together 2029 (WT29) strategy. Unlike traditional models that separate community initiatives from core business operations, AmBank embeds responsible banking into its programs, ensuring measurable and long-term impact.
In the last financial year, the Group contributed over RM2 million through the AmGroup Foundation, benefiting nearly 30,000 individuals across more than 150 nationwide initiatives. These efforts spanned youth development, financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, environmental conservation, and community welfare.
AmBank’s Community Empowerment Framework operates under five pillars: environmental protection, B40 economic participation, education partnerships, hunger alleviation, and support for people with disabilities and critical illnesses.
“This recognition is a testament to our commitment to lifting communities alongside our customers and shareholders,” said Jamie Ling, Group Chief Executive Officer of AmBank Group. “It reflects the dedication of all AmBankers who have made this possible.”
Shazman Shahid, Head of Group Corporate Communications & Marketing and overseer of the AmGroup Foundation, added, “Corporate responsibility is not an afterthought at AmBank—it is central to our operations and progress. This award validates our focus on purposeful, measurable, and sustainable initiatives.”
Employee volunteerism plays a key role in AmBank’s CSR efforts. The AmBank Volunteer Network (AVN), with over 4,500 active volunteers, supports long-term projects in environmental sustainability, community development, and education. In FY2026, employees contributed over 12,000 volunteer hours, part of the Group’s goal to reach 50,000 cumulative hours by FY2029. AmCare, an employee benefit program, provides three days of paid leave annually for charitable and sustainability activities.
Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), AmBank collaborates with NGOs, government agencies, and local stakeholders to address community needs effectively.
The award underscores AmBank’s alignment with its Winning Together 2029 strategy, reinforcing its role in fostering an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Malaysia. Source: AmBank Group Published: 2026-08-14
