03 MKH Berhad In addition, our employees practise energy saving faithfully at the workplace by switching lights and appliances off when not in use and reducing paper printing. We are committed to preserve a healthy ecosystem at our plantation estates via good estate management practices such as zero-burning policy in the planting of oil palm trees and putting up various signboards on environment preservation and wildlife protection as a constant reminder to in-field workers as they carry out their daily duties. To ensure that our estates are responsibly managed, we work closely with the Indonesia Department of Environment. Drainage and irrigation systems are built to ensure optimum water levels to promote growth of oil palm trees, and we also reduce application of agrochemicals through the use of natural alternatives such as planting of beneficial plant to combat pests. Effluents from our CPO mill are treated using anaerobic, aerobic, and facultative ponding system, and subsequently used as natural soil fertiliser. Our Plantation Division continuously take proactive steps such as enhancing water drainage system and also fine tuning the harvesting Standard Operating Procedures (“SOP’s”) to mitigate the effect of higher average rain fall. While the practice to reduce, reuse and recycle is observed, recycle bins are provided at our high-rise residences, shopping malls, and workplace. Organic wastes are periodically collected and recycled into natural composts at our headquarters, which are used as fertilisers in our developments’ landscape. Waste paper and plastic materials are collected from headquarters periodically to be sent to respective recycling service providers for further processing. In support to reduce carbon-footprints and encourage public transportation ridership, our Property Development and Construction Division has been developing TOD projects that are connected or well-within walking distance to public transit points. Our project, Nexus @ Taman Pertama, a 43-storey serviced apartment provides good TOD facilities to residents as it is very near the Mass Rapid Transit (“MRT”) station namely Taman Pertama MRT (approximately 150 meters). Another of our TOD service apartment project, MKH Boulevard ll is located next to the Kajang MRT-KTM Integrated Station which has MRT and train services. Our employees are encouraged to practise water-saving habits by minimising water wastage in the washrooms and pantries, while at our investment properties, notices, and posters encouraging efficient water usage are put up at designated areas to encourage tenants, customers, and guests to use water responsibly.
