Datasonic Group Berhad Annual Report 2023

58 DATASONIC GROUP BERHAD SUSTAINABILITY 04 Targets and Achievements In managing wastewater, we adhere to the local regulations and standards. We have set a target to achieve zero water pollution due to chemical spillage and discharge at DTSB’s PJ 223 site. We are pleased to report that in FY2023, we have achieved our objective with action plans depicted below. Action Plan Status Conduct awareness training for all staff on the environmental aspects that can cause leakage and spillage of chemicals and scheduled waste √ Review historical records of audit findings and incidents, and include in the inspection checklist √ Regular routine workplace inspection √ BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION Biodiversity is essential for the health and resilience of our planet, encompassing a diverse array of species and ecosystems. Although none of our sites are located in areas with rich biodiversity value, we aim to minimise our impact on the environment and contribute to conserving biodiversity through responsible business practices. This includes engaging in sustainable sourcing of raw materials and products, and promoting environmental education and awareness across the Group through training, among others. By doing this, we can help to reduce the adverse effects on biodiversity, if any.
