The data provided is estimated using the GHG formula. We are aware of the importance of having a formal tracking and reporting process, and will work towards implementing a proper monitoring system to obtain more accurate and reliable data. This allows us to get a better understanding of our carbon footprint and identify areas where we can lower emissions. As we progress in our sustainability journey, we also plan to extend the monitoring efforts to the Group’s other sites in the future. Total Emissions (tCO2e) FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 Scope 1 Direct GHG emissions from sources owned or controlled by Datasonic, such as our generator set to power operations 0.43 0.16 0.21 Scope 2 Indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased energy 302.2 319.7 366.1 Scope 3 All other indirect GHG emissions from the value chain, particularly employee commute 5,075.3 4,800.9 5,898.3 Moving forward, we aim to accelerate our climate action initiatives by identifying climate-related risks and opportunities for Datasonic, and integrating climate risk into the Group’s risk management framework. This will enable us to manage our risks, while identifying growth prospects. Additionally, we plan to establish GHG reduction targets and explore renewable energy sources, particularly solar, to reduce our carbon footprint. At the same time, we seek to align our climate disclosures with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) to ensure transparency in our reporting. Through these efforts, we strive to contribute to a sustainable future for all stakeholders. WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REDUCTION Effective waste management makes up a critical aspect of sustainability, as it helps reduce GHG emissions. One of the major sources of methane emissions, a GHG that contributes to global warming, is landfills. Therefore, by implementing waste reduction efforts, we can minimise the volume of waste we produce, leading to lower methane emissions. At the same time, improper waste removal can contaminate the soil, air, and water, causing pollution. These, in turn, can cause health problems for humans and wildlife. At Datasonic, we understand the importance of proper waste management and reduction in minimising our impact on the surroundings. In this respect, we have implemented strict waste management procedures covering the entire waste management process, from collection, transportation, treatment, to disposal. Beyond proper waste disposal, we also work towards lowering waste generation by implementing measures such as reducing packaging materials and optimising our processes to minimise waste. We also prioritise reusing and recycling of materials whenever possible. We generate waste in the form of solid and scheduled wastes. To manage our waste effectively, we categorise our solid wastes as recyclable and non-recyclable waste. This allows us to maximise the amount of waste that can be diverted from landfills through recycling. For instance, solid wastes such as paper waste, carbon boxes, and plastic containers that do not hold sensitive information are recycled. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
