58 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ENRA GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2023 6. Energy, resources and waste management (Environment) In line with the push for climate-related matters by Bursa Securities, our Group Compliance & Governance coordinated efforts to collect and compile relating to energy, resources and waste management. a. Water and energy consumption i. Chilled water consumption at Publika The cooling system at our Publika premises relies on the chilled water systems provided by the building management. ILLUSTRATION 15 above shows the chilled water consumption over a span of four years starting from FY 2019/20. Notably, there was a significant 56% decrease in consumption during FY 2020/21. This decline can be attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated the shift to a WFH environment. With fewer employees present at the office and reduced utilisation of meeting rooms and other areas, the demand for chilled water services to cool these unused sections was considerably lower. In FY 2021/22, we underwent a consolidation process, moving from multiple offices within the Publika building complex to a single office space that was large enough to accommodate our staff following the manpower rationalisation exercise and subsidiary divestment. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our chilled water consumption experienced a notable increase of approximately 24% compared to the previous year. This can be attributed to the open office setup, where the entire office space is serviced with chilled water regardless of the number of staff present. During FY 2022/23, with the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions being lifted, the activities at the office returned to almost similar to that before COVID-19. The increase in consumption of about 28% indicated that more chilled water would be consumed to cool the office down from the heat outside the office and the heat emitted by an average of 24 staff working fulltime in the office. 80,000 40% 20% 0% -20% -40% -60% -80% 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 73,687 32,389 40,125 51,196 24% 28% FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 m3 73,687 32,389 40,125 51,196 +/-% 0% -56% 24% 28% 0% -56% Chilled Water Consumption at Publika ILLUSTRATION 15 Sustainability Report (Cont’d)
