In 2021, the Company's waste volume is 0.0065 (Te)/ Production Volume (Te), which is an increase compared to 2020 with a waste volume of 0.0055 (Te)/ Production Volume (Te). The amount of waste compared to the production volume has increased due to cleaning and maintenance the production area during the past year. Therefore, there is an increase in the level of waste while the production volume was declined

 

 

There is a selection process to choose waste collector services who strictly follow the legal requirements and care for the health and safety of employees and nearby communities.

In addition, the Company regularly monitors environment quality on a yearly basis to prevent occupational health and external environmental issues.

One of the Company’s targets is to improve greenhouse gas management. The Company collects data on sources of greenhouse gases emitted from the Company’s activities to aid the plan for greenhouse gas reduction.

In 2021, the company has CO2 emissions of 0.611 (Te)/ Production Volume (Te), which is an increase compared to 2020 with a CO2 emission of 0.577 (Te)/ Production Volume (Te). The amount of CO2 emissions compared to the production volume increased due to the decrease in total production while using fuel at the boiler and the use of electricity in the production process which is the main process of CO2 emissions still required at the normal level.

 

 

 

Energy Management (SD’s UN’s Goal 7 Affordable and Clean Energy)
