SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Towards the Economy (Cont’d) The RondaApp, a software application, has been developed and refined to cater to our specific plantation needs. Its implementation has enabled our plantation management team to have real-time monitoring capabilities, enabling them to promptly address road maintenance and repairs promptly. Moving forward, our Group will continue on the expansion in the utilization of farm ATVs, power barrows and bin trucks to efficiently collect and transport FFB from the fields to our CPO mill. In addition, our Plantation Division has bolstered its mechanisation initiatives by implementing the latest iteration of the Plantation & Mill Management System (“PMMS”) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of FFB crop evacuation through the monitoring of contractor’s trucks. In our operational activities, we place a strong emphasis on credibility and traceability. This involves prioritizing responsible sourcing from our supply chain and taking proactive measures to understand the practices of our suppliers. We also make it a point to regularly review and renegotiate terms of trade, aiming to foster a sustainable and enduring business relationship. At our plantation estate, we pay significant attention to the traceability of external crops procured under the Indonesian Plasma Programme. Our Plantation Division continuously adhere to health and safety procedures to mitigate the Covid-19 risks. The initiative has enabled our Plantation Division to carry out its daily operations as usual albeit with enhanced biosecurity measures. This is further complimented with our ongoing mechanisation of FFB collection. The consistent crop evacuation in a timely manner enabled our production and sales of CPO to be well managed. Our Building Materials Trading Division supply high-quality ironmongery aimed at meeting the current demands of our customers and fostering a sustainable trading business within the industry. Our framework adheres to the QLASSIC, a standard established by the Construction Industry Development Board (“CIDB”). By implementing QLASSIC, the construction project’s workmanship quality can be benchmarked, enabling the use of a standardized quality assessment system to monitor the construction workmanship. This system helps strengthen the quality control of our construction works. During the year, our property development project Boulevard II and Kajang East shop manage to obtain a good score of more than 70% for QLASSIC. It is evident that our group effectively manages and provides highly skilled workmanship. In FY2023, we were ranked 12th among the Top 30 Property Developers in Malaysia at The Edge Malaysia’s Property Excellence Awards 2023 with high score in Innovation and Creativity for Development projects that create value for our homebuyers. Our Plantation Division is well-recognized as one of the most efficient plantations in East Kalimantan for its good estate management practices and innovations, as evidenced by our multiple highly-coveted awards. 70 MKH BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2023
