Resource Efficiency

As a corporation with diversified business interests, we have a responsibility to address the issue of resource scarcity to expand business opportunities and protect stakeholder value.

Our sustainability objective is simple: we want to derive more value from less to achieve eco-efficiency. Right across our value chain, we have implemented various initiatives to deliver more value, whilst promoting the sustainable consumption of resources.

Water Management

With the aim of reducing the consumption of freshwater, we have taken steps to enhance our efficiency levels in terms of modifying and enhancing the productivity of our processes that consume water. We have also taken on a more sustainable approach by recycling wastewater wherever possible.

Examples of various initiatives conducted throughout the Group are:

    • Installation of rainwater harvesting systems to store rainwater for operational use
    • Utilisation of water catchment areas and reservoirs at our mill operations
    • Collection of used water for suitable domestic consumption and as cooling water in our cooling towers
    • Conduct training to educate and raise employee awareness levels on effective water management. We also extend our awareness programmes to our guests and visitors at our hotels, resorts and malls.

Waste Management

We are committed to ensuring sustainable consumption and production. We seek out opportunities to eliminate and minimise waste via environmentally-sound waste management across our operations.
