Caring for the Planet Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 166 In FYE2024, we achieved a water withdrawal intensity of 2.5 m³ per tonne of aluminium, representing a 20.2% reduction from our 2016 baseline of 3.1 m³ per tonne. This progress exceeded our goal of a 10% reduction by 2030. Moving forward, our focus will be maintaining this achievement. To uphold the integrity of our reporting, we conducted regular monitoring and verification of water consumption data, which allowed us to track performance with accuracy and to identify further opportunities for improvement. Key Performance Indicators 2022 2023 2024 Total Water Withdrawal (million m3)* 3.0 2.9 3.1 Water Withdrawal Intensity (m3/ MT)* 2.3 2.3 2.5 Total Volume of Water Used (million m3) 2.4 2.4 2.6 Total Water Discharge (million m3) 0.6 0.5 0.5 Notes: 1. FYE2022 and FYE2023: Total Water Withdrawal, Water Withdrawal Intensity and Total Volume of Water Used comprised aggregated data from our midstream (PMBtu, PMS, and PMAR) and downstream (PMI, PMIT, and PMBA Klang) facilities. 2. FYE2024: Total Water Withdrawal, Water Withdrawal Intensity and Total Volume of Water Used comprised 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. 3. FYE2022 and FYE2023: Water Discharged comprised aggregated data from PMI and PMBA Klang only. 4. FYE2024: Water Discharged comprised aggregated data from PMI, PMBA Klang, and PMBA Nilai 1 only. 5. Water data is compiled through regular monitoring via flow meters and other monitoring systems to track day-to-day water withdrawal, usage, and discharge. * The Total Water Withdrawal and Water Withdrawal Intensity were restated for FYE2022 and FYE2023 using an enhanced calculation methodology implemented in FYE2024. Effluent Discharge Compliance We actively monitored effluent discharge to ensure that all discharged water meets or exceeds regulatory quality standards. Substances of concern are identified through regular water quality assessments, conducted through internal testing and external audits. Discharge limits are established in accordance with local regulations and environmental standards, with a strong focus on minimising environmental impact. In FYE2024, there were no reported incidents of non-compliance with effluent discharge. HOW WE PERFORMED IN 2024 GOING FORWARD Water management is a key part of our commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability. By continuing to reduce risks, improve efficiency and implement targeted water-saving initiatives, we strengthened our approach to responsible resource management. Through ongoing improvements and collaboration, we aim to maintain long-term resilience while meeting our operational and environmental goals.
