Caring for the Planet Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 152 AIR EMISSIONS GRI 2-22, GRI 2-23, GRI 2-24, GRI 2-25, GRI 3-3, GRI 305-7 Capitals SDGs N M Air emissions, including gases and particulate matter that are released into the atmosphere, may present a significant risk to environmental pollution if not managed well. Originating from industrial processes, combustion operations, and ancillary sources, these pollutants may potentially cause detrimental effects, ranging from respiratory ailments and acid rain to the formation of smog and the acceleration of climate change. If left unaddressed, such air emissions threaten not only ecological stability but also the health of communities and the sustainability of global ecosystems. Organisations bear responsibility to mitigate or prevent these impacts, as stewards of environmental responsibility. At minimum, adherence to environmental protection standards and regulatory requirements is a must with efforts to implement stringent internal controls and proactive measures in addressing air emissions. WHY IT MATTERS ? Press Metal’s dedication to environmental stewardship is enshrined in the Environmental Policy and Environmental Mission Statement, which serve as the guiding principle in managing air emissions. These guiding documents establish a robust framework for our environmental management, driving robust environmental controls and proactive initiatives aimed at mitigating the environmental footprint of our operations. While ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, we had instituted rigorous internal benchmarks and monitoring systems to advancing our commitment to sustainable practices. Our approach to managing air emissions focuses on tracking and controlling total particulate matter (“TPM”), hydrogen fluoride (“HF”), sulfur oxides (“SOx”), and nitrogen oxides (“NOx”) — generated from our manufacturing activities, as well as to ensure compliance with Malaysia’s Ambient Air Quality Standards and the stringent regulatory frameworks of China. In addition, we prepare reports to regulatory authorities, whether on a quarterly or annual basis, fostering transparency in our air emissions performance. Beyond regulatory standards, Press Metal had established internal air emission limits for Malaysian operations that surpass regulatory requirements, while our China facilities follow strict adherence to China’s environmental standards.

At present, our manufacturing facilities have substantially embraced (75%) the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems standard, underscoring our commitment to sustainable operations. The remaining entities, which are newly established subsidiaries under PMBA, are actively pursuing this certification, aligning with our overarching goal of universal adoption. OUR APPROACH
