WASTE MANAGEMENT FY2024 FY2023 FY2022 Total waste diverted from disposal 329,563 MT 332,070 MT 356,117 MT Total waste directed to disposal 44 MT 47 MT 38 MT Total waste generated 329,607 MT 332,117 MT 356,155 MT In FY2024, MKHOP generated 329,607 MT of waste and managed to recycle more than 99% or 329,563 MT of recyclable waste. We have implemented effective waste management strategies, recycling our oil palm biomass for energy generation and soil nutrient enhancement purpose. MKHOP actively promotes sustainability through the use of renewable energy sources for power generation and use by-products from palm oil milling, namely palm kernel shells and mesocarp fibre, as fuel for the boilers at our palm oil mill to produce steam for electricity generation by turbines. A small amount of boiler ash is produced when palm fibre and palm kernel shells are burned was subsequently recycled into the soil to reduce acidity levels. This aligns with the commitment to environmentally responsible practices, ensuring that the operations not only meet production demands but also contribute positively to the ecological footprint. Emission Management The rising CO2 level leads to a variety of effects, including rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, an increase in extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. As a corporation, we are committed to supporting the national agenda in reducing the GHG emissions, recognising our responsibility in minimising carbon emission within our business operations. This is reflected in the identification of climate change as a key-risks identified in our MKH’s Materiality Matrix. Our goal is to minimise carbon emissions, a commitment reinforced by our focus on Scope 1 since FY2023, with Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, which will include Category 7 (Employee Commuting) implementation during FY2024. We believe that by establishing a benchmark baseline, the Group will be able to effectively monitor our emissions profile and take steps to minimise carbon emissions, contributing to a sustainable and environmentally conscious business approach.
