Sustainability Report Energy Megachem successfully installed solar panels at our Singapore’s operation which has resulted in energy savings as well as promotes cleaner and greener environment, thereby further solidifying our commitment to sustainability. As an extension of our efforts to adopt sustainable energy sources, solar panels were also installed at our operation in Malaysia. Most of our office lighting systems uses energy saving features to reduce electricity consumption. Through regular preventive maintenance, we make our manufacturing facility run more efficiently which will in turn minimize energy consumption. Water, Effluent & Waste Megachem implemented LEAN methodology, a systematic approach to reduce or eliminate activities that don’t add value to the process. Arising from this exercise, we managed to reduce the quantity of waste water generation. By standardizing washing procedure for different types of products based on its chemical properties, developing training programs for operator on washing process and implementing water recycling program as well as effective production planning, we are able to reduce waste water. Waste water generation is one of our important KPIs to achieve for everyone in Megachem in order to minimize cost and play our role to help our environment. We continue to look for water reduction activities both in plant and office building through installed water saving device, cut down unnecessary water usage and recycle water wherever possible in plant activities. We ensure that chemical wastes are treated responsibly by engaging licensed industrial waste treatment companies. Product and sales information such as product and material safety data sheets are maintained in our system and transmitted to our customers electronically thus reducing usage of paper. Sales invoices are also being transmitted electronically. Products and Recycling of packaging materials Megachem practices ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ of packaging material whenever we can. Packaging material such as wooden pallet or plastic pallet are reused in the factory. We also collaborate with customers to reuse packaging materials whenever possible. 82 ANNUAL REPORT 2024
