GOING FORWARD Biodiversity preservation is an important focus as we balance business operations with the surrounding natural ecosystems. Adopting responsible practices that protect natural habitats while maintaining operational excellence is essential to our long-term approach. This commitment is part of an ongoing process of learning and adaptation. By working closely with local experts, communities and environmental stakeholders, we will strengthen biodiversity initiatives, ensuring that our efforts drive meaningful impact in the years ahead. Through collaboration and continuous improvement, we aimed to build a more sustainable future, where operational success and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand. Tree Planting on Operational Sites Improving the environmental landscape around our manufacturing facilities is an important aspect of our biodiversity strategy. A dedicated tree planting programme had been implemented across operational sites, with an estimated 7,200 trees planted. These included species such as Golden Ficus, Eugenia and Ficus Benjamina (Beringin), along with Bucida Variegated (Pokok Doa) and Cocos Nucifera (Kelapa Pandan). Additionally, a selection of flowering plants, including West Indian Lantana (Pokok Bunga Tahi Ayam), Murraya Paniculata and Tristellateia Australasiae, had been introduced to further enhance the site’s greenery and biodiversity. These efforts reflected a commitment to fostering a greener, more sustainable environment in close proximity to our operations. Supporting Conservation Beyond Our Operations Beyond these initiatives, our entity in China, PMI, contributed to biodiversity conservation through its membership in the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology (“SEE”) Foundation. Established in 2008, the SEE Foundation brings together entrepreneurs, civil society and the public to drive ecological protection and sustainable development. Its key focus areas include desertification control, climate action, ecosystem conservation and marine protection, with notable projects such as the 100 million Suosuo Initiative, Groundwater Conservation, Free Flying Wings, Blue Defenders, Green Supply Chains, Conserving the Sanjiangyuan Region and Marine Conservation. Collectively, these initiatives have garnered over one billion instances of public support. Press Metal had contributed RM60,000 to the Alashan SEE Foundation and RM11,000 to the Guangdong Zhushui Yunshan Nature Conservation Foundation.
