Water Management
T
he Group’s businesses remain
focused on efficient water
management through, inter
alia, reusing water throughout
their operations and rainwater
harvesting. Our workers’ quarters
at our Indonesian estate are
installed with rainwater tanks.
Installation of these tanks have now
become a standard green feature
in all new developments of workers
quarters, wherever possible. This
allows us to harvest rainwater to be
used for daily consumption.
During the year, water consumption
of PTNJL’s palm oil mill has
decreased by 2.6% in total
compared to last year, largely as a
result of the decrease in domestic
usage (6.1%).
PTNJL has also set aside areas
within its plantation as water
catchment zone. Chemical
applications are strictly prohibited
at the water catchment zone to
facilitate natural re-vegetation of
the area and preservation thereof.
