Our Rate of occupational diseases, injuries, and absenteeism is 0% with no casualties reported.

In accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), businesses must seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts that are directly linked to their operations, products or services by their business relationships, even if they have not contributed to those impacts.

Scope 2 Carbon Emission Calculation
2019: 2280 kgCO2e
2020: 1230 kgCO2e
2021: 1998 kgCO2e

The increase in our Carbon emission for the year of 2021 is higher in comparison to 2020 is due to the Work From Home factor in 2020 which was introduced due to the Covid-19 pandemic work from office restrictions.

We however do make mandatory contributions to TNB’s Renewable Energy Fund (KWTBB) at the rate of 1.6% per KWh used. We have also invested energy saving lighting and fixtures to further reduce our emissions for the subsequent years.

We support the UNGC principles on anti-corruption and works strongly against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

Adhering to the best practices in line with the anti-bribery & anti-corruption (ABC) policy, we are committed to conducting business dealings with integrity. This means avoiding practices of bribery and corruption of all forms in the company’s daily operations. We have adopted a zero tolerance approach against all forms of bribery and corruption and takes a strong stance against such acts. Employees who refuse to pay or receive bribes or participate in acts of corruption will not be penalised even if such refusal may result in the Company losing its business or not meeting the target.

We ensure that internal procedures support the company’s anti-corruption commitment by fully adhering to clients incorporating ABC and ethical behaviour in all contracts.
