SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Cont’d CARING FOR THE PLANET Press Metal endeavours to protect the planet by balancing growth with sustainability efforts to safeguard the ecosystem where we operate. We unceasingly commit to managing our environmental impacts, particularly across key material areas, namely climate change, air emissions, energy, waste, material stewardship, water and effluents, and biodiversity. Our approach towards environmental sustainability is guided by the Environmental Policy and Environmental Mission Statement which frame Press Metal’s principles towards managing the environmental impacts. In addressing climate change, we have instituted the Carbon Neutral Policy and GHG Reduction Targets, depicting our commitment towards abating carbon footprint. Our Environmental Policy, Environmental Mission Statement, Carbon Neutral Policy, and GHG Reduction Targets can be viewed at our corporate website: https://www.pressmetal.com/investor-relations/corporategovernance.php. Press Metal’s manufacturing facilities are mainly situated in industrial parks and have obtained the relevant licenses from local authorities. Our Malaysian manufacturing facilities have received the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) approval from the Department of Environment (“DOE”). Following the approval of the EIA, an Environmental Management Plan (“EMP”) is prepared which includes but is not limited to the following: • Land Disturbing-Pollution Prevention and Mitigation Measures • Water Quality Control and Monitoring • Air Quality Control and Monitoring • Noise Control and Monitoring • Ecology Monitoring Programme • Usage and Handling of Raw Material, Waste and Hazardous Material An environmental monitoring report (“EMR”) is prepared to keep track on the status of compliance with the pollution prevention and mitigation measures, through quarterly reporting to the DOE. An annual environmental compliance audit by a DOE-certified third-party auditor is also required by DOE. Press Metal has implemented the Environmental Management System (“EMS”) to provide clear policies, procedures, and methods in managing enviromental matters and is principally guided by the Deming cycle that adopts the PlanDo-Check-Act (“PDCA”) approach across all our manufacturing facilities. The Deming Cycle fundamentally promotes continuous improvement in terms of operational procedures, maintenance of equipment, as well as emergency preparedness. Through systemic environmental management, we aim to embed safe and sustainable practices into our operations. Our Environmental Department at the respective manufacturing facilities is tasked to uphold our environmental commitments, policies and procedures, and ensure our environmental impacts are being monitored and managed. All of Press Metal’s manufacturing facilities (100%) have valid ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems certifications. Over and above obtaining the EMS certification, PMI has obtained the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Systems (“EnMS”) certification in FY2022. PRESS METAL ALUMINIUM HOLDINGS BERHAD 115
