Datasonic Group Berhad Annual Report 2021

DATASONIC GROUP BERHAD 40 We contribute to the sustainable development of society through our business activities. Environmental protection is also ensured through climate change measures and conserving resources such as energy and water. Energy Management We reduce the environmental impact of our products through smaller designs that reduce energy and use fewer components. Primarily, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity consumed by our business operations, across the supply chain and through the usage of Datasonic’s products. Various internal energy- saving measures have been implemented such as switching off lights which are not in use, replacing office equipment with energy-efficient solutions and reducing paper wastage. Electricity consumption reduced by approximately 20% in FY2021 compared with FY2020. This reduction was also mainly due to the Movement Control Order (“MCO”) issued by the Government following the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
