ENRA Group Berhad Annual Report 2021

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Annual Report 2021 | ENRA Group Berhad 65 H. How we Manage our MSMs (Cont’d) 3. Material Environment Sustainability Matters (Cont’d) i. Waste management (Cont’d) Scheduled Waste and Odour • ENRA Kimia and ICE in the speciality chemicals business have in place appropriate internal policies and procedures in compliance with DOE requirements on the management and disposal of scheduled waste. • Scheduled waste is disposed of periodically by regulator-approved companies for proper disposal. • ENRA Kimia monitors odour produced from handling thiochemicals (sulphur-based chemicals) to ensure that the odour levels do not exceed 30 parts per million (“ppm”) at sampling point. ENRA Kimia’s odour levels since 2015 have never exceeded 30 ppm at sampling point. • The design of the new warehouse in Kemaman also takes into account this consideration. • For Q Homes, the construction waste by the main contractor as stipulated in the letter of award for each affordable homes project is monitored closely. • For Myanmar operations, the slop water, the spent grease and oil and other daily waste needs to be properly managed to minimise the impact on the environment. • The maritime regulations and ship management manuals & SOPPs must be strictly adhered to in order to avoid any mishaps like cargo spillages, fuel oil and marine gas oil spillages, fire and pollutions. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle (3Rs) • Initiatives implemented in all our offices to have designated bins for waste separation and disposal of batteries. • ENRA Kimia returns used printer toner cartridges to its vendor for reuse/recycling. • Aim to implement these and further initiatives to recycle, reuse and reduce to all member companies. • Following the BCP that led to WFH & WIO arrangement, the immediate and lasting positive impact is the reduction in printing requirement where excess printers are returned to lessors, less papers, stationery and toner cartridges were purchased. • Our digitalisation initiatives helped to bring down the paper consumption. ii. Climate change contribution Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define earth’s local, regional and global climates. ENRA understands that it can help in preserving our planet, which we borrow from the future generations. Ratu ENRA’s effect When we acquired Ratu ENRA and redesignated it as a floating storage for our operations in Yetagun, we looked seriously into both economic and environmental impacts that led to a conscious decision to use Marine Gas Oil (“MGO”) as part of the operations. The vessel we used prior to the acquisition of Ratu ENRA would require an additional vessel on standby to act as a static tow to ensure it maintained a static position which is necessary to avoid colliding with our single point mooring system buoy. This two-vessels operation consumed between 12-14 metric tonnes (“MT”) of MGO per day. Ratu ENRA is equipped with a propulsion control system which keeps her in position without the assistance of another vessel. This single vessel operation would consume only 6-7 MT of MGO daily thus providing an almost 50% reduction of daily MGO consumption. According to an Life Cycle Assessment study by the IMO, for every one gram of MGO burned, 3,206 grams of CO 2 would be released to the air. Thus with every MT of MGO burned an equivalent to 3,206 MT of CO 2 would be released into the air. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
