Datasonic Group Berhad Annual Report 2020

Year-on-year, the volume of solid waste disposed have reduced by 21,999kg in FY20 as compared to FY19 due mainly to much lesser shredded waste paper, rejected plastic goods and carton boxes/packaging boxes from vendor. We reuse and recycle waste up to the capacity of internal consumption only. Types of waste being recycled include carton boxes and plastic containers; provided that such waste do not contain any secure or sensitive information. We engaged a professional company to provide the following services:- • Expert information security services to ensure that our sensitive documents and information are managed with total security; and • Destruction services for the management of secure information and the recycling of our general office paper waste. As we are aware that scheduled waste can be potentially hazardous to human health or the environment if improperly managed, the handling and disposal of scheduled waste from our manufacturing plant is outsourced to a third-party licensed contractor (which is a leading recovery and recycling scheduled waste company inMalaysia) to dispose of our chemical waste properly. This ensures that this type of waste is properly treated before it is disposed of safely. Water Management Water is essential to Datasonic’s manufacturing operations. Datasonic strives to support sustainable water management by reducing water consumption wastages.
