AwanBiru Technology Berhad - Annual Report 2021

Principle 3: Commitment to Corporate Responsibilities Making Carbon Footprint Reduction Our KPI In realising the goals that we have set for ourselves, we adopted a holistic approach where we have mandated ESG related parameters into the KPI of our employees, with emphasis on reducing energy, water, paper and total carbon intensity to encourage them to take part in further reducing our carbon footprint as a Group. Active goals such as reducing departmental paper usage and increasing recycling rate were introduced in the financial year under review, which constitute 10% of all employees KPI scores that are tied to their compensation and incentives. Doing Well by Minimising Carbon Footprint Following our third sustainability principle, we continue to consolidate our effort in safeguarding human rights within our sphere of influence and contribute our best to meet community needs. For the financial year under review, we have carried on with our commitment to reduce carbon footprint and lessen climate change impact in making our operation more sustainable - In line with our alignment to UNSDGs, materiality matters and our sustainability goals, which were set in FP2019. • Sustainability Goals: Short-term - To reduce our total carbon emission to less than 2.5 MT CO 2 -eq/employee by 2024. Long-term - To reduce our total carbon emission to less than 2.0 MT CO 2 -eq/employee by 2030. • Alignment to UNSDG’s 12.2 Responsible Consumption and Production: To achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources covering energy, water and paper by 2030. • Materiality matters of Green IT Practices: To minimise impact of ICT devices on the environment, which includes reduction of energy use and better e-waste management. This environment that we are operating in is not exclusively ours - it is shared with everyone and the next generation as well. Therefore, it is the responsibility of us all to ensure that we operate with the least carbon footprint and impact as possible. To inculcate sustainability as a Group-wide culture, the Group has mandated for all employees to have a minimum of 10% out of their total KPI score to be dedicated to ESG-related goals. Yasmin binti Abdullah Director, Human Resource and Administration Employees were briefed on the newly mandated ESG-related KPI by our Director, Human Resource and Administration in our previous Performance Evaluation Conversation held in July.
