Once a year, right after the stock market closes at 5pm, a number of CIMB Group employees would put on their running shoes while still dressed in their work clothes to take part in The Edge-Bursa Malaysia KL Rat Race in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Modelled after the Carey Wall Street Rat Race in New York, the KL Rat Race demonstrates that besides being caught up in the proverbial rat race to climb the corporate ladder, local executives and corporations are also keen to fulfil their corporate social responsibility. CIMB Group joins Corporate Malaysia in sponsoring teams to run in the annual race through the financial district of Kuala Lumpur. Funds raised from the event are channelled to support selected beneficiaries involved in various causes.
