Integrated Annual Report 2023 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 141 Water Resource Stewardship Water Conservation Project Environmental Awareness Programmes As part of our ongoing initiative for water resource stewardship, we actively monitor and implement various water management initiatives to minimise our water consumption across all operations. Within our Property and Facility Solutions ("PFS") department, they strategically manage risks, opportunities, and impacts related to the consumption and disposal of water. In 2023, we sustained our water conservation efforts in collaboration with our client, PLUS, through various water management initiatives including rainwater harvesting and usage of tube wells. These efforts have proven impactful, allowing us to conserve and recycle water for our operations at clients’ sites. In total, we conserved 10,582m3 of water in 2023, a significant increase from the previous year’s conservation of 6,000m3. From the corporate level, we adopt many environmental work practices, from introducing digital e-forms, composting to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ("3Rs") initiatives. Recognising the significance of our workforce, UEM Edgenta takes steps to actively contribute alongside our partners and community. Thus, we ensure our employees are involved in the environmentalrelated Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") programmes implemented by the Group.
