Frontken Corporation Berhad 200401012517 (651020-T) • A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 31 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT (CONT’D) 3. RESPONSIBLE GREEN PRODUCTION The Group has continued to improve its green production method through its research and development to meet the operational challenges that global warming may bring by making progress through innovation. In FY2021, our production capacity has increased while processes continue to grow more complex, but through our efforts, unit production average power usage was reduced to 9.22 kWh (FY2020 = 10.16 kWh) per part produced; the unit production average water usage was reduced to 0.11 (FY2020 = 0.12) cubic metre per part; and unit production average waste produced was maintained at 0.4 kg (FY2020 = 0.4 kg) per part. To assess the environmental impact of the Group’s business activities, including its value chain, the Group implemented and monitored Scopes 1, 2, and 3 of the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. The calculation is based on the GHG Protocol, which is the most widely used international accounting and reporting tool. We have identified Scope 2 electricity consumption as having the greatest potential impact on achieving our stated energy and emissions targets. Most of our energy use is associated with our production. Optimising energy efficiency in our operations is a key component of the Group’s overall sustainability strategy. We are committed to continue to cut energy usage to lower our utility costs and reduce our environmental footprint. We are committed to doing our part to achieve a low-carbon future. We have already boosted the share of renewable power in our energy mix. Our sources of renewable energy include on-site generation: renewable power generated by renewable energy sources (i.e. solar). We continue to enjoy savings from our scrubber overhaul and replacement and implemented energy saving lighting system projects: (a) We continue to improve on the optimisation of energy conservation for our scrubbers, which are our single biggest user of electricity. It is important that our scrubbers operate in the most efficient manner. We achieve this through our scrubber overhaul and replacement programme. (b) We also continue to explore the use of energy conservation Performance Enhancement Lighting Management System, allowing lighting levels to be automatically managed based on motion detection. (c) We continue to enhance the energy conservation initiative by using energy savings lightings at our offices. (d) We continue to implement renewable power in our energy mix. In our Taiwan plant, we installed solar photovoltaic systems on the roof of the plant to generate electricity and achieve an average monthly power generation of up to 30,000 kWp, and we accumulatively used 1,341,934 KW of green power since 2018. (e) We continue to improve our energy conservation transformation of the chiller system, office air conditioning system, dust-collecting and exhaust system and lighting system, including the adoption of frequency conversion technology, the installation of flow monitoring and control system and the replacement of energy-saving lightings. To that end, we achieved considerable good results. Consequently, we have saved more than 100,000 kWh of electricity every month since the implementation of these projects.
