  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption by establishing carbon reduction and energy saving targets;
  • Evaluate renewable energy manufacturing potential for energy efficiency improvement and expanding our use of renewable energy technologies;
  • Review and report annually on its progress against targets;
  • Incorporate climate change considerations into its procurement processes, including sourcing low carbon products and selecting environmentally friendly suppliers; and
  • Engage with internal and external stakeholders to combat climate change;
  • Work with other partners (industries, academia, NGOs, government etc.) on climate change mitigation; and

4.0 Climate change and its physical risk

  • Climate change: Climate change refers to long term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. The consequences of climate change now include, among others, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, flooding, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms and declining biodiversity.
  • We realized two main types of physical risk of climate change, namely acute or chronic:
    • Acute physical risks include one off disruptions which are driven by specific weather events or “hazards”, such as heatwaves, floods, typhoons, monsoons, wildfires, droughts and storms;
    • Chronic physical risks are more gradual changes and driven by longer term shifts in climate patterns, such as changing rain patterns, rising sea levels and increasing mean temperatures.
  • Four main types of transition risks of climate change, namely Policy and Legal risks, Technology risk, Market risk and Reputation risk:
    • Policy and legal risks: These are risks to the business as a result of governments responding to climate change through regulations by increasing energy efficiency standards, caps supply or use of resources, or the rice of a carbon.
    • Technology risk: Technology will allow existing products and services to be replaced with ones that are more energy efficient and deliver lower emissions. This will have increased research costs and impact demand for existing products.
    • Market risk: There is a significant change in consumer behavior and expectations with consumers looking for low carbon goods and services. This could lead to risks of reduced demand for existing products (as greenion andalducts becom, market increased cost of raw materials and production.
    • Reputation risk: Stakeholders have higher expectations of how businesses respond to climate change issues. Risks in this area can lead to loss of revenue or market share if these expectations are not addressed.

5.0 Commitment

  • Comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations;
  • Continuously evaluate and improve our business operations to enhance efficiency and minimize greenhouse gas emission and our environmental footprint;
