61 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ENRA GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2023 COVID-19 pandemic and the WFH environment continued into FY 2021/22. The reduced manpower presence in the office due to WFH and net staff number of 31, had brought the consumption down by another 2,840 kWh to a new annual total of 13,188 kWh, a reduction of about 18%. During this financial year we also consolidated our offices at Publika into just one single office, resulting in a much-reduced area of 1,814 ft2, a reduction of 4,580 ft2 or about 72%. Going into FY 2022/23 saw the end of the of COVID-19 pandemic and the associated MCO. A new normal began to emerged and the WFH environment slowly reduced. Despite the huge reduction in office size, and a net decrease in staff number, the electricity consumption did not show much changes. There was only a small increase in consumption of 118 kWh or 1%. This is likely due to the setup of our office - an open office. Regardless whether the office is fully or partially occupied, the lightings and main office equipment continue to consume relatively the same amount of electricity. The things that may vary according to the number of staff in the office are the consumption from the use of personal equipment such as laptops and mobile phone chargers. If we discount the COVID-19 pandemic period and compare only FY 2019/20 and FY 2022/23, we will see that the consumption was reduced by 9,132 kWh or about 41%. This is mainly due to the space consolidation. The consumption per ft2 in FY 2019/20 is about 48% that of FY 2022/23 due to the consumption in FY 2019/20 being spread over large common or unoccupied areas such as meeting rooms and the sparsely occupied C-suite section of the office. • Consumption at Plaza Azalea TABLE 12 – Electricity Consumption at Plaza Azalea office FY 2019/20 FY 2020/21 FY 2021/22 FY 2022/23 Consumption (kWh) 8,262* 7,479 8,312 12,374 Total staff 11 11 16 17 Consumption/Staff 751.09 679.91 519.50 727.88 Consumption/staff/day** 2.89 2.62 2.00 2.80 Office ft2 1,388 1,388 2,259 2,259 Consumption/ ft2 5.95 5.39 3.68 5.48 * For 9 months beginning July 2019 ** Based on 260 working days per month Based on the data provided in ILLUSTRATION 17 and TABLE 12 above, we conclude that the consumption for FY 2019/20 was very high when compared with that of subsequent years. Assuming the consumption was consistent throughout the nine months in FY 2019/20, and these nine months consumption is to be extrapolated throughout the year, the consumption would have theoretically been 11,016 kWh. Going into FY 2020/21 saw a reduction of 783 kWh based on actual or 3,537 kWh based on the extrapolated consumption above. Subsequently in the following year of FY 2021/22, the consumption increased by 833 kWh. During this financial year, the number of staff and the office square footage increased and as such, comparison with the previous year or the subsequent year may not reflect a correct picture. Bear in mind that the consumption for the additional square footage is only for five months beginning November 2022. Sustainability Report (Cont’d)
