In this respect, the scheduled wastes will be packaged, labelled and transported in accordance with the prescribed Department of Environment guidelines and regulations. Moreover, we are also certified with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 - Environmental Management System in providing MRO of safety, survival, search, rescue equipment. Aside to that, the Group also adheres to the Environmental Quality Scheduled Waste Regulation 2005 and Inventory of Scheduled Wastes that is in compliance with oil and gas regulations. We acknowledge that the impact of paper used on the environment is significant and we have adopted the practice of the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, across the Group. Paper recycling initiatives are underway by encouraging employees to, amongst others, prioritise electronic means to share and store documents, reduce printing or photocopying and to use double-sided printing. We adopt a paperless concept where meeting documents and presentation materials are through electronic devices to minimise printing and the negative impact towards the environment. In addition, other materials such as furnishing and fixtures are recycled or reused whenever possible. Waste segregation is carried out by placing different bins for different discarded materials such as plastic, paper and others in and around our office area. Proper disposal or reusing wastages is part of the Group’s balance activities to ensure the sustainability for its business as well as for the environment. Therefore, the Group is committed to ensure all wastes are appropriately treated and stored or disposed in compliance with law and regulations and in a proper manner. Waste segregation has been done by placing different bins in and around our offices and by setting up recycling stations at convenient locations. ⊲ Energy & Water Conservation Most of the Group’s operations are all housed under our corporate building in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. In line with our commitment to adopting good sustainability principles, and to uphold the government's reformed initiative of Malaysia Electricity Supply Industry (MESI) 2.0, the building’s rooftop was installed with a Solar PV system and is one of our major investments in renewable energy. This solar system was approved by Tenaga Nasional Berhad and is able to generate a maximum capacity of approximately 150 kWp. The solar PV system is fully operational from December 2021. During the reporting year, a total of 104.309MWh of energy was generated by green energy through the solar PV system. Since the commissioning of the solar PV, the building managed to reduce 291 tonnes of CO2 emissions which is equivalent to 15,888 of trees planted. Apart from that, the Group practices minimising energy consumption at our office buildings during operation hours. Our staff are encouraged to turn off the machines, or other electronic and electrical equipment, such as computers, electric fans, air-conditioners, and lighting when they are not in use; this includes during lunch breaks or recess. In addition, our buildings are installed with LED lights and split unit air-conditioners which serves energy efficiency. The Group also encourages our staff to carpool, or take public transport when commuting to office. Water is used primarily for drinking and sanitation at our facilities and is obtained solely from municipal suppliers and discharged into public sewage systems. We implement measures to minimise water consumption as part of our environmental management system. We are committed to understanding and reducing operational water footprint, advocating an effective water consumption policy and encouraging our employees to be water stewards at work. 15,888 trees planted 291 tonnes Sustainability Statement SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 50 DESTINI BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2022
