On-going, business-as-usual actions in relation to GHG emissions reduction are in place across the FGV group. To name a few: renewable energy generation, effective waste management, daily monitoring of LNG and electricity usage and installing efficient insulation and heat exchangers to reduce heat losses. Additionally, we continuously apply advanced technology to enable emission reduction, an example being the implementation of our Palm Oil Mill Integrated System (POMIS) which helped reduce boiler fuel consumption by 15%, contributing to lower emissions. Specific toMSM, our sugar business subsidiary, GHG emissions reduction is also an embedded imperative. On-going operational measures, amongst others, cover the installation of back pressure turbines which enables naturally generated electricity to be produced based on the current power needs, reducing fossil fuel consumption and emission of heat and carbon dioxide into the environment. As a responsible environment steward, we remain steadfast in ensuring environmentally responsible practices, specifically on reducing and controlling GHG emissions. We strictly follow our no deforestation, no planting on peat and no exploitation (NDPE) policy and enforce the same across our supply chain to eliminate irresponsible practices which can damage or compromise peatlands leading to GHG emissions. We have signed on to the United Nations-backed Science Based Target initiative Business Ambition for 1.5°C pledge, being the first Malaysian food and agriculture company to do so which, in our context, calls for the halving of our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero by no later than 2050. 13 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020/2021 CLIMATE ACTION & ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
