AmBank Group has marked the pinnacle of its 50th Anniversary celebration with a dual-purpose initiative in Sabah, an expedition to Mount Kinabalu and a sustainability outreach at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kundasang. These reflects its long-standing values that embraces the true spirit of “Malaysia Kita”.

In honour with its golden jubilee, 50 AmBankers successfully scaled the summit of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah. It is a testament of the Bank’s perseverance and collective strength of its people which has driven its journey of growth over the past five decades.

Jamie Ling, Group Chief Executive Officer, AmBank Group said “This is a significant milestone in AmBank’s 50-year progress. The climb to Mount Kinabalu’s peak by 50 of our very own workforce is both a physical and symbolic achievement. Their ascent represents the determination and dedication that define us as an organisation, and how committed we are to continue this path with purpose and resilience.”

As part of the celebration, AmBank has implemented ESG initiatives at SK Kundasang, a BESTARI primary school. The school is recognised as a UNESCO-associated institution following its strong focus on environmental education, through its Taman Eko Sains. It is also the first adopted school under the Kinabalu Geopark initiative.

AmBank has contributed three units of Huawei Ideahub smart boards to enhance digital learning in classrooms and a collection of educational books to support literacy development. During the visit, Jamie, AmBank board members, senior management and employees planted 50 cheese avocado trees to promote biodiversity in the school compound and promote practical environmental education.
