Caring for the Planet Integrated Annual Report 2024 SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 159 Promoting Awareness & Education As part of our commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability, internal awareness campaigns are regularly conducted under the 6S Lean Manufacturing Principles. Informative materials, including posters and videos, were distributed to employees to reinforce best practices in waste management. Recycling programmes have been implemented across facilities, incorporating dedicated recycling bins to facilitate responsible waste disposal. These initiatives are designed to foster a culture of accountability and sustainability, equipping employees with practical solutions to support environmental stewardship within daily operations. Refer to the Material Stewardship section for more information on our initiatives in promoting the circular economy. HOW WE PERFORMED IN 2024 In FYE2024, we generated a total of 262,570.4 tonnes of waste, a 19.9% increase from FYE2023. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes of SPL waste generated following the fire incident at PMBtu’s Phase 3 plant.

FYE2022 and FYE2023: Aggregated data from our midstream (PMBtu, PMS, and PMAR) and downstream (PMI, PMIT, and PMBA Klang) facilities. 2. FYE2024: Aggregated data from our corporate headquarters (PMAH), midstream (PMBtu, PMS, and PMAR) and downstream (PMI, PMIT, PMBA Klang, PMBA Nilai 1, and PMBA Nilai 2) facilities. * The Total Waste Generated for both Hazardous Waste and Non-Hazardous Waste has been restated using the methodology stated in the Bursa Malaysia Sustainability Reporting Guide (3rd edition). Waste Handling In FYE2024, there were no non-compliance incidents resulting in penalties related to waste handling. Spills & Leakages In FYE2024, there were no reported cases of significant spills or leakages. GOING FORWARD A commitment to sustainable waste management is embedded within operations, guided by the 4R approach and 6S Lean Manufacturing Principles, with a clear objective of achieving zero (0) landfill waste by 2030. Strategic initiatives focus on developing innovative and sustainable waste solutions, enhancing resource recovery efficiency, and identifying opportunities to repurpose materials for broader applications. These efforts reflect a dedication to driving sustainable excellence while supporting the transition to a more efficient circular economy.
