Annual Report

Water Management
The Group’s businesses are also focused on efficient
water management through, inter alia, reusing water
throughout their operations and rainwater harvesting.
For example,
Food Division’s
PNG subsidiary
identified opportunities to reduce its water consumption
using a variety of approaches including recycling
water, recirculating cooling water, replacing faulty
equipment, and eliminating water leaks. In addition,
the
Plantation Division
has installed rainwater tanks
at workers’ quarters at our Miri and PTNJL estates
to harvest rainwater to be used for non-drinking
purposes, namely washing and sanitation. Weirs have
also been constructed across the field drains at our
Miri estate to facilitate water retention and maintain
the groundwater table at optimal levels.
Further, the Group’s Indonesian subsidiary, PTNJL
has set aside areas within its plantation as water
catchment zones. Chemical applications are strictly
prohibited at the water catchment zones to facilitate
natural re-vegetation of the areas and preservation
thereof.
Responsibly Sourced Seafood
The
Food Division
believes ocean sustainability
is important. The Division’s PNG subsidiary, IFC,
responsibly sources their fish supply to support and
ensure the long term sustainability and conservation
of fish resources. Sustainability and traceability is high
on IFC’s agenda when making purchase decisions.
IFC works closely with their suppliers to ensure that
the tuna they procure and process do not contain
those which are illegal, unreported and unregulated
(“IUU”). During FYE2016, IFC did not incur any IUU-
related violations.
