“Green” Renewable Energy
AMTEL Group’s operations are all housed under our corporate building named Wisma Amtel. In line with our commitment to adopting good ESG principles, Wisma Amtel’s rooftop is installed with Solar PV system. It covers an estimated area of 380 square meters and is one of our major investments in renewable energy. This solar system was approved by Tenaga Nasional Berhad on 23 March 2022 under the Net Energy Metering Scheme and is able to generate a maximum capacity of approximately 220 kWh per day. The Solar PV system is fully operational since mid-September 2022. As of FYE 2023, the Solar PV system has generated a total of 106,918.54 kWh (2022: 16,391.71 kWh), which translate into an equivalent total savings close to RM50,000 (2022: RM8,000).
Apart from that, the other energy conservation initiatives our Group practices are as follows:-
• Minimise water and energy consumption within our office buildings and during our operation processes.
• Turn off machines, plant or other electronic and electrical equipment, such as computers, servers, electric fans, air-conditioners, lightings, etc. when not in use, including during lunch breaks or recess.
• Our building is installed with LED lights and air-conditioner with an inverter.
• Encourage our staff to car pool, or take public transport when commuting to office.
- Promote paperless office culture through the use of electronic documents in place of hard copy documents; mode of communication and correspondences among staff and peers are directed to slowly shift to paperless form.
- Reuse and recycle office stationeries, wherever permissible. For example, waste paper and paper products, soft and hard cover files are reused to reduce wastages and degradation of resources.
- Production waste and leftovers are either recycled or returned to suppliers for proper disposal.
Obsolete and end of life products (such as wire, PCBA, plastic parts and components etc) and IT products (such as CPU, hard disk, laptop, tablet, router, switch etc) are disposed of to an e-waste disposal company certified by Department of Environmental (DOE).
