Corporate Social Responsibilities
Our Group believes in being a progressive and pro-active corporate citizen and places strong emphasis on environmental preservation. This is evidenced by our efforts toward the following:
Wastewater treatment and water conservation
We have significantly invested in wastewater treatment plants. This is to ensure that the water discharged from our production facilities are well within the acceptable environmental standards. Furthermore, we regularly undertake in-house as well as external testing to ensure that discharged water is adequately treated and is within the acceptable standards.
We have also instituted measures to aid in water conservation. These include clear guidelines on the recycling and reusing of water for purposes of general cleaning to our employees. In addition, we have also designed a rain water collection system which will be incorporated into our new production plant. This system will provide us an additional source of water supply for our production processes
We are committed towards accountability and excellence. We will be committed to operate in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner whilst balancing the interest of diverse stakeholders. We have a policy in encouraging open and transparent practices, which are based on ethical values and respect for employees, communities and the environment.
Solid Waste Disposal
All solid waste generated at our facilities (including sludge) are properly and responsibly disposed at authorised dumping grounds by our subcontractors. In addition, we undertake proper waste segregation to ensure the solid waste will be properly treated. Where possible, our waste products are recycled either internally or become raw materials for other products which are sold/paid to recyclers.
In line with the increasing global awareness for environment conservation, we will continue to conduct research to improve our waste management system and work closely with the authorities in meeting their required environmental standards. As part of our solid waste reduction programme, we plan to set up a plant to process our coagulum, which is coagulated rubber into recycled compound rubber for further use by other industries.
We also intend to build biomass heater as an alternative source of energy. This biomass plant will use biological waste primarily from the oil palm sector and/or wood chips or saw dust from timber industry to generate the required energy for heating purposes. These biomass plants will have emissions, which will fully comply with the DOE standards or requirements. However, since these sources are renewable, this biomass plant is considered to be environmentally-friendly.
Working Environment
We consciously work towards providing a safe and sociable working environment for all our employees as well as giving opportunities for self development through training and career growth.
We are gender neutral and offer equal opportunities to any person who demonstrate ability, interest and loyalty to the company.
Working with the Community
We believe that business and community co-exists to mutually support one another. We will support those who are disabled and lack opportunities to earn a livelihood. We will help by employing suitable disabled persons as well as provide financial assistance to train them in established centres.
