Tropicana Corporation Berhad Annual Report 2020

As a well established developer with multiple flagship projects across the nation, we remain well aware of the waste generated by our construction activities. This includes both scheduled waste as well as large solid wastes such as concrete by-products, steel and other materials that cannot be disposed via conventional means and require licensed waste disposal vendors. To achieve this, our project personnel work closely with the Department of Environment (“DOE”) to ensure sound waste management practices are implemented across our project sites – avoiding any waste pollution that would result in the destruction of the environment for current and future generations. Waste Management Construction Waste Our waste management practices are not exclusive to our project construction sites. Besides applying responsible waste disposal as prescribed by the local authorities, Tropicana entered into a partnership with a third-party recycling organisation to collect and dispose recyclable household waste. iCycle Malaysia provided us a collaborative opportunity with regard to sound waste disposal practices and data tracking solution to identify the amount of carbon savings we generate based on the products we recycle. Although this programme is newly adopted within the Group, we successfully disposed 1,368 kg of recyclable waste throughout the financial year which generated an estimated carbon dioxide (“CO 2 ”) savings amount of 723.11 kg.

Our strong stance on maintaining regulatory compliance has allowed us to maintain our yearly record of zero significant fines and non-monetary sanctions related to environmental laws and regulations in FY2020. As we grow, we strive to meet the expectations of our stakeholders while upholding the integrity of the law through responsible development practices.

Each of our development projects are integrated with energy efficiency features that either optimises the use of natural daylight and ventilation or lower electricity demand. The following list of initiatives presents several energy efficiency features across most of our projects: Energy Efficiency Features LED light fittings at car park and common areas Low-E glaze installation* and roof insulation to reduce building cooling load Motion sensor controlled lighting at stairways* Architectural passive design to optimise the use of natural daylight Natural ventilation design for cooling feature Note: Carbon dioxide (“CO 2 ”) savings is the equivalent amount of carbon emissions saved in kilograms (“kg”) for recycled waste products that would usually be disposed into landfills. The CO 2 savings calculation was based on the criteria outlined by Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara (“JPSPN”) Malaysia data using the US-EPA calculator. No waste was collected in April 2020 due to the MCO. * Features at Tropicana Gardens development only TROPICANA CORPORATION BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2020 SUSTAINABILITY AT TROPICANA 106 107
