Sustainability : Environment
Since 2011, all biomass residue from our palm oil mill in
Indonesia is either converted into fertiliser/compost or
clean energy. In the case of the latter, mesocarp fibre,
palm shell and shredded EFB are utilised as feedstock for
the steam boiler and the steam generated from there will
then fuel the steam turbine in the cogeneration plant. The
impact of the utilisation of biomass as renewable energy
has been significant. 86.4% of the electricity and heat
energy generated from the cogeneration plant is used to
power the oil mill’s operations. The excess energy is used
to power worker’s quarters, government facilities, schools
and mosque. In FYE2020: 5,147,370 kWh of electricity was
generated (FYE2019: 6,216,230 kWh).
Emission
We emit GHG both directly and indirectly. Our largest
impact in terms of emissions is direct (scope 1) emissions
mainly from our businesses’ use of petrol, gas and diesel.
Our main source of indirect (scope 2) emissions is electricity
used in our manufacturing and processing operations.
Overall, the Group’s total CO
2
eq was lower by 4.3% y-o-y.
Head Office showed the most improvements with a 14.8%
reduction y-o-y primarily due to its usage of solar to
generate power supply for the building.
