ENVIRONMENT INITIATIVES Reducing Waste in the Community As part of MSM’s 2021’s sustainability journey and a step-up of our ESG framework, MSM has taken a more active role in participating in initiatives and action to reduce pollution, waste and resource use. In November 2021, MSM Prai took part in a Household E-Waste Collection Hero Competition organised by the Penang DOE and in collaboration with Majlis Bandaraya Seberang Perai and Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang. MSM Prai took it as an opportunity to raise awareness for staff on ESG topics while fortifying ties with the DOE. In conjunction with the National Environmental Day themed Environment: Our Responsibility, MSM Prai bagged third place in the Industry category with approximately 500kg of electric and electronic waste (e-waste) collected within five days from 7 November until 12 November 2021 by more than 400 MSM Prai employees via the strategic promotion of environmental awareness programme. MSM Prai took its own initiative to participate in the competition and the team effort and commitment shown by its employees demonstrate that everyone in MSM is playing an active role in contributing to MSM’s ESG agenda. To further drive the ESG initiatives for a better and greener environment, MSM launched the 3R: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Programme in early January 2022. More measures are in the pipeline to promote the 3Rs across the Group and reduce environmental impacts of our products throughout their lifecycles. Further details of the initiatives and activities planned in FY2022 will be disclosed in our next report. The diagrams provide an overview of the aspects of waste management we have monitored and tracked over the last three years. We recognise that there are still gaps on how waste generation data has been collected and tracked in the respective operations and we are stepping up how we track and measure our progress on waste generation data from FY2022 onwards as we continue to improve our data analysis and tracking methods for more consistency moving forward. As previously reported, we continued to track the hazardous waste collected by our licensed contractor for recovery and observed a 28% decrease in FY2021 from FY2020. The remaining hazardous waste from our operations were disposed and handled through other methods such as recycling, chemical treatment, incineration, or sent to landfills. More measures are in the pipeline to promote the 3Rs across the Group and reduce environmental impacts of our products throughout their lifecycles. Further details of the initiatives and activities planned in FY2022 will be disclosed in our next report. 15.80 15.49 11.19 2020 2021 2019 Hazardous (Scheduled)Waste collected by licensed contractor for recovery (tonnes) WHO WE ARE STATEMENT & DISCUSSION BY OUR LEADERS HOWWE OPERATE MSM Malaysia Holdings Berhad ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2021 134
