Efficient management of
resources will not only limit
our carbon footprint, but
it can also lead to significant
operational and financial benefits
to the Group as a whole. The
Group’s Environmental Policy
which prescribes our approach
and commitment to managing our
environmental footprint across our
business includes the following
objectives:
• comply with all applicable
environmental laws, regulatory
requirements, standards and
codes of practice applicable to
our operations;
• develop environmental
awareness across the
Group through effective
communication, training and
sharing of good practices;
• continuously assess and monitor
the environmental impacts
of all our business activities
and implement appropriate
environmental management
strategies;
• support the conservation of
biodiversity and protected
areas located near or within our
operational sites;
• promote the efficient use of
natural resources, especially
energy and water to reduce
the emissions intensity of our
operations and supply chains;
• minimise the generation of raw
material waste and reducing,
reusing or recycling solid waste
where practicable;
• engage with the local
communities and other
stakeholder groups to address
any environmental concerns;
• ensure our suppliers or vendors
understand our approach to
environmental management and
where reasonable and practical,
require them to provide relevant
information on performance
where requested; and
• continuously promote and
support zero burning initiatives
in our plantation operation.
We acknowledge that managing the Group’s
environmental impacts through sustainable
practices is a moral and social imperative as
well as an economic necessity.
