5. Cultivating Environmental Knowledge and Skills We equip and empower local communities with the tools and resources needed to lead environmental initiatives and become active stewards of their environment. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and builds longterm sustainability. 6. Fostering Community Collaboration for Environmental Stewardship We foster a culture of environmental awareness and empower individuals to become active advocates for sustainability. Through education and training, we cultivate a generation of environmental change makers who are equipped to address current and future challenges. Overall Performance We have updated our methodology for calculating consumption and emissions, resulting in an increase in reported figures. The revised figures show Scope 1 emissions at 8.8 tonnes of CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 11,785.3 tonnes of CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions related to business travel at 485.3 tonnes of CO2e. This is due to the inclusion of fuel from generator sets in Scope 1 and electricity from additional outlets and branches in Scope 2, starting from 2023. We have recorded an increase in water consumption, up to 212,137 cubic meters, from the previous year. Additionally, paper usage has also increased to 48,540,365 sheets, highlighting areas where our resource management strategies must be strengthened. While these figures suggest that further improvements are necessary, we remain focused on enhancing our sustainability practices and operational transparency in 2024.

To achieve this, we have initiated early steps, such as introducing data templates for business customers to report their emissions. Furthermore, we are transforming our branches to be more environmentally friendly. This includes implementing energy-efficient systems like motion-sensing technology and exploring renewable energy sources like solar power and rainwater harvesting. These initiatives align with our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable future.
