SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Cont’d Pillar #2: Reducing Operational Carbon Footprint To realise the interim carbon reduction targets, Press Metal has identified various improvements in the manufacturing processes while exploring new technologies or processes to reduce the operational carbon footprint. We continue to implement emission reduction initiatives focused upon boosting overall energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy usage, and optimising operational control efficiency to reduce GHG emissions. During the reporting period, our CSD Team undertook an exercise to ensure the completeness of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions inventories. The CSD Team audited the data collection and methodologies adopted, including data sources utilised and collection methods, for data consistency and alignment across the Group. Read more on GHG emissions reduction initiatives in Our Initiatives (Climate Change) section of this Report Pillar #3: Low Carbon Product As sustainability and circularity become prominent aspects to customers, manufacturers, and governments alike, consequently, the demand for low-carbon aluminium is projected to rise5. Aluminium is an essential enabler due to its unique characteristic – infinite recyclability. We have strategically differentiated from our peers by producing lower carbon products. This has been made possible through the utilisation of renewable power sources (i.e. hydropower and solar energy) and the implementation of energy efficiency measures across our facilities.
