SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Cont’d At our China entities, Energy Conservation Workgroup has been established to conduct research on energysaving solutions for machinery and to instil energy conservation culture through energy conservation videos. Monthly meetings are held to discuss technical modifications on machines, evaluation of investments, and propose improvement plans for areas with high energy consumption. As a result, our China plants have switched 18 units of diesel forklifts with EV forklifts to reduce the dependence on conventional fuel-type handling equipment. At PMI, solar energy is utilised from the installed 11 MW solar plant. Read more on the initiatives in the Our Initiatives (Climate Change) section of this Report Our Performance In FY2022, our manufacturing operations consumed 55.4 million Gigajoules (“GJ”) of energy, representing a 14.5% increase from FY2021. The energy intensity has also increased slightly by 6.8% from FY2021. The increase in energy intensity is mainly attributed to the occurrences of anode effect resulting from uneven chemical composition in the electrolysis process. This is arising from the blockage in the alumina feeders and breakdown of alumina conveyor belts.
