Carbon Intensity
Carbon intensity remains a key metric in tracking our environmental impact. In 2023, fuel consumption peaked at 185,506.65 m³, before dropping to 112,585.52 m³ in 2024. Similarly, diesel usage rose to 56,721.77 m³ in 2023, then decreased to 40,231.22 m³ in 2024.
These changes reflect shifts in our operations as we continue to implement strategies to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.

Water Efficiency
Water conservation remains a top priority for the group. In 2023, water consumption surged to 1,318 m³ due to expanded operations and new projects, followed by a further increase to 1,849 m³ in 2024.
In response, we’ve implemented sustainable rainwater harvesting systems to enhance efficiency and mitigate the environmental impact of our water usage.

Energy efficiency
Our commitment to energy efficiency plays a vital role in reducing waste and lowering our carbon footprint. In 2023, energy consumption increased to 526,768 kWh due to the expansion of our operations.
However, a significant drop to 279,051 kWh in 2024 reflects our efforts to enhance resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact, all while maintaining steady and sustainable growth.

Change Strategy
The climate change strategy is a comprehensive set of actions aimed at addressing the causes, impacts, and challenges associated with climate change. It includes a series of strategic measure to reduce greenhouse gases, adapt to climate change, promote sustainable development, and protect vulnerable populations.
Biodiversity is crucial for sustainable development and human well-being.
Biodiversity encompasses the diversity of life on Earth, including genetic variations, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. It is crucial for sustainable development and human well-being. It provides food, water, jobs, and resilience to climate change. Biodiversity and healthy ecosystems are crucial for multiple SDG goals, including SDG 14 (life below water), SDG 15 (life on land), and SDG 2 (zero hunger) that relies on pollinators for agriculture.
