In terms of the environment, FGV consciously exercises due care in our operations to ensure that they do not harm the environment and ensure surrounding communities’ living conditions are not compromised. For instance, due care is taken to ensure discharge of waste from our processing facilities are treated in accordance with regulatory environment standards. We also have formal, matured practices to effectively manage waste produced from operations through recycling and repurposing and convert them into revenue generating products as part of our waste-to-wealth strategy, witness biogas production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) and conversion of kernel expellers into animal feed. The following examples best illustrates our water management efforts: MSM, our sugar subsidiary, employs a cutting-edge nano-filtration waste treatment system to handle the discharge produced in sugar refining. This system cleanses the effluent before discharge reducing waste water load and leaves minimal impact to the environment FGV Johor Bulkers, our logistics subsidiary, employs a Reverse Osmosis plant to recycle effluent from the waste water treatment plant (WWTP) for reuse as feed water for boiler operations 13 clinics have been built at our own expense to a facilitate access to healthcare for our workers located in remote areas. We have also facilitated Covid-19 screening and vaccination for our workers to ensure they are protected and more importantly, do not contribute to the spread of the disease. i ii 73 CLIMATE ACTION & ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020/2021
