At Kenanga, we aim to promote a climatepositive culture across the organisation in pursuit of a reduced carbon footprint. Our strategy to addressing climate change is defined by a multi-faceted approach in which we integrate climate-related risk considerations across our business while reducing the environmental impact of our operations. Material Topics UN SDGs CLIMATE IMPACT Environmental Stewardship In 2021, we retrofitted the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) system at Kenanga Tower with a new AI smart chiller system. The project focused on upgrading our chiller, Air Handling Unit (“AHU”) and Air Conditioning (“AC”) systems and was completed in the third quarter of 2021. Further, we have enhanced the monitoring and reporting of our GHG emissions to account for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in our operations. Paper is one of the largest material resources consumed in our daily operations, and as part of our efforts to reduce paper consumption, Kenanga has embarked on more digitalisation efforts throughout our operations in 2021, gradually moving towards a paperless way of working. In 2021, we purchased 15,138 kg of paper, which marks a 38.70% reduction from 2020. Moving forward, we are planning to monitor our waste management practices including e-waste. Our in-house environmental awareness programme, #GreenAtHome – previously known as #GreenAtWork – is a month-long interactive event to raise environmental awareness amongst employees throughout the month of April, culminating in World Earth Day. We have carried out this campaign on an annual basis since 2017, to continuously reinforce the importance of embracing more sustainable lifestyles amongst our employees. In 2021, the month-long event saw encouraging participation of over 54% of our total workforce.
