Press Metal Annual Report 2024

Caring for the Planet Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 154 Initiative Deployed Purpose of Improvement Efficient HF treatment in the dry scrubber process. HF Emission Control Captured air emissions at source by installing enclosed housing with integrated suction systems, resulted in improving air quality and ensuring better pollution control. Ladle Pot Heating Housing Captured and filtered particulate matters using bag filters at the source, to enhance air quality management. New Installation of Bag Filter for Increased Production Capacity Planted Spider Lily seedlings around the entity to enhance landscaping and absorbed pollutants such as benzene and carbon monoxide, contributing to fresher, cleaner air. Green Landscaping for Air Purification Installed a sensor earthing system to prevent electrical interference from dust and lightning for accurate and stable air quality monitoring and to reduce sensor maintenance frequency. Sensor Earthing System for Accurate Dust Emission Monitoring At Press Metal, we endeavour to proactively manage our air emissions and minimise our environmental footprint through leveraging technological innovations. We maintained an optimal air pollution control system through ongoing monitoring and timely replacement of components in our effort to optimise air pollution control systems. In FYE2024, we had implemented a range of initiatives aimed at improving emissions control across our facilities. These initiatives included enhanced emissions control, improved particulate matter removal, and enhanced pollutant absorption, all of which contributed to better air quality within our operations. OUR VALUE CREATION HOW WE PERFORMED IN 2024 Total Air Emissions (tonnes) 2022 2023 2024 TPM 313.4 312.5 173.3 HF 93.8 87.0 76.0 SOx 7,437.4 7,645.1 7,135.0 NOx 5.6 11.8 10.4 Notes: 1. FYE2022 - FYE2024: Aggregated data from our smelting facilities at PMBtu and PMS. 2 Air emissions are measured through CEMS with a calculation methodology that accounts for emissions concentration, chimney surface area, and gas velocity. In FYE2024, Press Metal maintained air emission levels well within regulatory limits and recorded zero (0) incidents of non-compliance. This continued accomplishment serves as a testament to our environmental responsibility. Our air emissions generated during FYE2024 were reduced compared to FYE2023 results. This was due to an operational disruption at our PMBtu’s Phase 3 plant, which was resolved during the first quarter of 2025. GOING FORWARD Press Metal maintains a proactive approach to managing and monitoring air emissions, with continuous improvements forming a key part of our environmental strategy. In FYE2024, advancements were made to optimise emission control systems, establishing a strong platform for further enhancements in the coming year. Future initiatives will focus on ongoing research, investment in cleaner technologies and greater transparency in environmental reporting. The objective is to drive reductions in air pollution while strengthening the Group’s position as a responsible corporate participant in the transition towards more sustainable industrial practices.
