Sustainability has been a key driver since the Companys
formation. Over the years, we have improved our
performance in many areas. We created a solid
foundation on which we can continue to build a
sustainable business. We aggressively pursue other
goals that touch all areas of business including our
employees health and safety, environmental footprint
and community engagement. Reaching these goals
ensures that we full our commitments and surpass the
expectations of all key stakeholders.
In 2014, we identied four key sustainability focus areas.
They represent both risks to be managed and signicant
opportunities. These focus areas are aligned with the
delivery of our business transformation while also being
responsive to stakeholders. Over the coming months,
the Bank will focus on improving these areas.

programmes covering functional, technical
and soft-skills, we also focused on two main
initiatives to meet the Banks annual strategic
objectives. Firstly, a full-scale training
programme is delivered that supports the
New Operating Model (NOM). This programme
promotes sales and marketing to ensure the
Banks sustainability while supporting the
Governments agenda of developing the SME
entrepreneurs. Secondly, we initiated Project
Wisdom with the aim of achieving Shariah
compliance by 2015.
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MARKETPLACE
Every day, we see examples of how our
support helps fuel the success of Malaysian
SMEs, whether by enabling them to purchase
equipment to full new contracts, providing
expertise to manage their cash ow or
advancing funds to expand their portfolios.

programme is a competition entitled
Program Inovasi Usahawan Muda SME
Bank Y-Biz Challenge. We implemented this
programme with the Ministry of Education
(MoE) to groom and nurture future
entrepreneurs. We created interest in
entrepreneurship and helped students
explore their creativity and innovativeness.
The programme also provides students with
experience and specic knowledge so they
can envisage entrepreneurship as their
future careers.
Our CR programmes enrich the lives and
full the dreams of the underprivileged
including orphans. As we operate in a
multi-cultural country, we are proud to
celebrate many festive seasons throughout
the year by sharing the joy with those who are
less fortunate. One example of our signatory
CR activities is the SME Bank Annual
Ramadan Programme. In addition to various
activities undertaken at the Head Ofce level,
RM5,000 is allocated to each branch network
to fund their own Ramadan programmes
including food distribution, zakat and bubur
lambok distributions.

OUR ROLE
As a development nancial institution, it is our
responsibility to be more involved in developing the
sector.
We promote and help achieve the Governments specic
social and economic objectives.
We do whatever necessary to help SMEs succeed.
This role lls the void left by commercial banks that are
driven more by market forces and protability than the
overall development of smaller companies.
We provide medium and long-term nancing of projects,
which require specialised skills and focus. This type of
nancing carries higher credit or market risks as they
typically have longer investment tenures.
We focus on ve National Key Economic Areas: oil, gas
and energy; wholesale and retail; education; healthcare
and tourism. The potential and numerical value brought
to the economy is considered when assessing SMEs
viability.

Up-skilling and Re-skilling
We introduced NOM to strengthen operations, which included
moving non-operations staff to different job functions.
Our Redeployment Programme ensures that proper
learning and development initiatives are provided to
employees deployed to business operational functions.
The training is delivered by internal trainers to equip staff
with the necessary skills and knowledge required for
relationship management job functions and general
intervention. We deliver the programme in batches
depending on the number of trainees and new functions
created. This approach ensures employees are equipped
with the necessary skills and knowledge for the specic
function they are assigned to.
Redeployment Programme - Job Familiarisation
We upskilled non-operations staff to Relationship Managers
from 3 to 5 June 2015 at the Premiere Hotel. 30 selected
employees attended the programme. We also trained
existing relationship managers to improve their skills and
knowledge based on the NOM. 64 employees were involved
in this redeployment programme.
Master Sales Professional
Our Master Sales Professional (MSP) programme inculcated
a mentally tough sales achieving mindset to sustain growth
and achieve quantum high performance. Achieving sales
targets is no longer the sole responsibility of the sales and
marketing team. Every single employee must work together
to meet the quantum sales target quickly.
MSP raised the commitment of the Relationship Management
Team to believe that marketing can make a difference and
every small contribution counts. 326 relationship managers
and 30 heads of department took part in this programme.
MSP covers four stages:
Stage 1. Professional selling methods, continuous learning
mindset and commitment to win;
Stage 2. Review, different applications and C-level
approaches;
Stage 3. Creative applications and high performance
motivation (MSP Transformation); and
Stage 4. MSP, assessment, grading of sales projects and
certication.

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
The ongoing development of the employees personal and
professional competencies is essential. Each position has
a dened set of core competencies and functional
competencies which are required at specic prociency
levels.
The competency assessment is performed as and when
required for specically measuring and evaluating an
employees competencies. The outcomes of the
competency assessment help in identifying the learning
and development needs.
The assessment processes may include multiple-choice
tests, structured interviews, proling questionnaires, jobknowledge tests, social skills inventories, executive
assessment centres, language-learning ability tests and
professional examinations for managers and executives.
The results of the competency assessment are analysed to
identify the learning and development requirements of
employees. The employee competency assessment is
conducted by Human Capital Development to measure the
employees competency.
MANAGING PERFORMANCE
We are committed to inculcating a high performance
work culture. We provide each employee with clear
performance objectives, professional development,
ongoing performance coaching and feedback. We
recognise performers and rehabilitate under-performers.
Performance management is ongoing and linked to the
Banks nancial cycle. There are three main activities in
performance management:
Performance planning;
Mid-year performance review; and
Year-end Review.
Employees at executive level and above undertake all
three activities; non-executive level employees only
receive a year-end review.
Management may adjust performance ratings for
evaluation consistency. We may also use information
from performance management forms in decisions
involving promotions, performance-based disciplinary
action, performance-based salary increases and

Year-End Review
Superiors conduct year-end reviews to measure
employees performance against agreed KPIs. The
evaluation is performed at the end of the nancial year
and the process is as transparent as possible.
Supervisors use veriable information collected and
documented throughout the cycle. They determine the
extent to which actual performance has met the
expectations dened in the performance planning.

We also protect supply-chain personnel and local
community members. The Human Resources Policy
recognises that while governments are primarily
responsible for human rights protection, the rights of
individuals may be affected by company activities.
All operations:
Provide a safe and healthy workplace for associates;
Do not use child, forced, prison, indentured, bonded
or involuntary labour;
Prohibit discrimination in their hiring and
employment practices;
Forbid actual and threats of physical abuse and
harassment of associates; and
Support freedom of association and the rights of
workers and employers to bargain collectively.
All employees are governed by their Terms and
Conditions of Service; contractors and vendors are
governed by their general contract with the Bank. All
standard agreements protect all parties.
Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect and
we conduct business in a manner consistent with this
principle. We comply with all applicable employment
and human rights laws and regulations where we have
operations and our suppliers must do the same. All
employees, including security personnel, are issued
with an Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct.
These documents clearly dene the scope of our ethical
responsibilities.
We comply with the Children and Young Persons
(Employment) Act 1966. Individuals aged below 18 years
cannot be employed as mandated in the Malaysian
Employment Act 1955. Although we do not have a
dedicated non-discrimination policy, there is ample
protection in the Employee Code of Conduct. This code
governs all aspects of employment including
discrimination.
We have had no incidents of discrimination or risk to
freedom of association and collective bargaining. There
have been no reported incidents of risks of child, forced
or compulsory labour. No violations of human rights
involving the rights of indigenous people have occurred
at any time in the Companys history.

SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
In 2014, we committed to enhancing our sustainable
procurement by evaluating environmental and social
aspects when procuring products and services. We also
consider suppliers attitudes to sustainability.
For example, we favour suppliers accredited with local
and international standards such as ISO and SIRIM.
We encourage our suppliers to adopt our high standards
and work towards continual improvement. This approach
positively affects the environment and community while
mitigating reputational risks.
Our vendor evaluation assesses environmental, health
and safety commitments. An OSH system, certications,
recycling activities and other social compliance are also
covered. This evaluation process helps us make
informed procurement choices. Understanding how
purchased products and services are made makes us
more aware of their environmental impact. Other factors
considered during the evaluation process included
checking suppliers:
Are registered with MOF, CIDB and other local
authorities and professional bodies,
Are nancially and technically able to carry out the
project,
Have an excellent track record when performing
similar projects,
Have prices that are within the approved budget.
Prioritising Local Suppliers
Our procurement processes stipulate that we obtain a
minimum of three quotations from Ministry of Finance (MOF)
registered suppliers. Purchases ranging from between
RM50,000 and RM100,000 are awarded to local suppliers,
vendors or service providers registered with the MOF.
Tender or e-Bidding
A tender is a written invitation sent to potential tenderers
containing detailed specications of the sought goods or
services. Tendering is used when the purchase amount
exceeds our purchasing policy. The tender process
covers the invitation, preparation and evaluation of
tenders. It also covers the establishment of a Tender
Opening Committee, Tender Committee, Financial
Evaluation Committee and Technical Evaluation
Committee.
