Water Management
The Group’s businesses remain focused on efficient water
management through, inter alia, reusing water throughout
their operations and rainwater harvesting.
Food Division
’s
PNG subsidiary, IFC is continuing their efforts to identify
opportunities to reduce their water consumption using a variety
of approaches including water recycling, replacing faulty
equipment, and fixing leakages. In addition, the
Plantation
Division
has installed rainwater tanks at the workers’ quarters
in our Miri and PTNJL estates. This allows us to harvest
rainwater to be used for daily consumption. 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.
During the year, water consumption of PTNJL’s palm oil mill
in Sei-Manggaris has increased by 19% compared to last
year, largely as a result of the increase in the volume of crops
processed during the year.
PTNJL has also set aside areas within its plantation as water
catchment zone. Chemical applications are strictly prohibited
at the water catchment zone to facilitate natural re-vegetation
of the area and preservation thereof.
