UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 156 Source of Water Stress reference: Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas Air emissions and compliance Sulphur Oxide (SOx) 0 Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) 0 Air emissions monitoring shows that there are no material Sulphur Oxide (SOx) or Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions detected at both Kamunting Laundry and incineration plant (KLIP) and Kuala Ketil Laundry Plant. All parameters monitored and regulated by the Department of Environment (DOE) remain within the prescribed permissible limits.The monitoring is carried out by an accredited third party consultant in accordance with DOE approved methodologies. VALUE CREATED Key initiatives during the year included supporting hospital clients in adopting rainwater harvesting systems to reduce reliance on treated water, promoting responsible consumption through structured water awareness campaigns, and piloting data collection from selected suppliers on water, energy and waste. This has improved supply chain transparency and strengthened accountability for environmental performance beyond direct operations. Environmental risk resilience also formed part of this approach, with assessments carried out to evaluate exposure to surface water flooding at plants and operational sites. Although no significant threats were identified, these assessments support early preparedness and enable timely mitigation planning where required. Responsible Waste Management and Circular Practices UEM Edgenta strengthened environmental value creation in FY2025 by improving waste governance, increasing diversion from landfill and scaling circular practices across business units. Efforts focused on practical waste reduction, higher-quality segregation, responsible scheduled waste handling and the adoption of wasteto-value solutions that support operational efficiency and lower environmental impact. Entopia Organic Waste Recycling Partnership Hospital Pulau Pinang established a sustainability collaboration with Entopia in April 2025 to address food waste generated from hospital operations. The hospital produces approximately 1,000 kg of organic waste daily. Under the EntoFeed Programme, organic waste is biologically treated using Black Soldier Fly Larvae technology, enabling the hospital to divert 30% of food waste from landfill. The programme includes on-site segregation, scheduled collection and monthly monitoring of waste quantities and diversion rates to support sustainability performance tracking and ESG reporting. Outputs include organic fertiliser and animal feed ingredients, positioning the initiative as a practical circular economy reference model for hospitals across the Penang region.
