65 MANAGING OUR KEY ESG RISKS GOOD GOVERNANCE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES APPENDIX ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP In the coming period, we will continue to monitor the Group’s environmental footprint and explore opportunities to manage our resources efficiently. Concurrently, we strive to enhance advocacy efforts through employee awareness programmes, promoting the sustainable use of resources. Furthermore, we aim to develop a Net Zero Roadmap that also covers the Group’s decarbonisation efforts focusing on both enterprise and portfolio level. Future Outlook Since 2017, we conducted #GreenAtWork annually - a month-long interactive campaign, in conjunction with World Earth Day to increase environmental awareness amongst our employees. The campaign aims to promote sustainable practices and encourage our employees to adopt a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. In 2023, the event garnered participation from over 800 employees. To engage our employees effectively, we deployed virtual interactive learning events featuring educational pop quizzes, games and immersive learning initiatives such as environmental workshops. Theworkshops were conducted in collaborationwith non-governmental environmental organisations, EcoKnights, Free Tree Society and Repurpose Plastics. During these sessions, we encouraged our employees to learn about ways to repurpose plastics and participate in our plant adoption drive. These initiatives aimed to inspire our employees to embrace green practices in their daily lives. We have also been participating in Earth Hour for the past 14 years by switching off lighted signages and non-essential lights in our premises nationwide. Promoting Environmental Awareness - #GreenAtWork Water Management We aim to manage our water consumption and consistently explore opportunities to improve our water usage efficiency. In 2023, our overall total water consumption was 42,208.1 m3 compared to 29,489.3 m3 the year before. We recorded an increase of 56.3% in our water consumption at Kenanga Tower, which directly correlated to the resumption of our employees working in the office, as well as renovation works at the lobby of Kenanga Tower, and rectification works on multiple leakage incidents. Notes: 1. Data restatement for FY2022 as there were data correction made upon improvement of our data collection process. Data collection for water consumption for branches only commenced in FY2022, hence no data available for FY2021. 2. Water consumption data for our branch offices exclude KIBB – Damansara, Johor Bahru – Menara Pelangi, Penang-Menara PSCI, Subang Jaya, Kota Kinabalu; and KIB – Penang-Menara Boustead, Kuching, Miri, and Bukit Jalil Agency Office.
