Dagang NeXchange Berhad Annual Report 2019

annual report 2019 91 Environmental Stewardship As an integrated technology services company that operates on an extensive know-how, asset-light strategy, we place an emphasis on fully digitised work systems, allowing our customers and stakeholders to minimise environmental impact and carbon footprint. Waste reduction • Reduced stationery consumption • Default printing configuration to reduce paper usage and toner wastage. Energy and water saving • Reminders to “Turn Off When Not in Use” for common areas such as the pantry, washroom, meeting rooms, prayer rooms and nursing room to encourage energy and water savings • Earth Hour during lunch time for 1 week every month • Cultivating healthy habits to decrease our carbon footprint and utility bills. Reduce, reuse and recycle • Recycling non-hazardous waste like paper, newspaper and magazines • Where disposal is necessary, waste is managed in an environmentally responsible manner, at convenient recycling points within our buildings. Operational management • Utilisation of electronic cards for festive greetings • Minimising travel for meetings • Leveraging on email and teleconferencing as mode of communication • Utilising green bags and recycling bins. We track and compare our utilities consumption between 2018 and 2019 in two offices – Cyberjaya and Bangsar South. Whilst efforts have begun since 2018 to reduce consumption in both offices, Bangsar South office continue to face difficulty in reducing their energy consumption due to its central AC system, as opposed to Cyberjaya office’s more effective, split unit AC system. Bangsar South office also housed Dagang Net’s Careline centre, which operates 24/7, as well as Innovation Associates Consulting Sdn. Bhd., which routinely work long hours to complete project-based work. We recognise that more work needs to be done in order to generate significant results and will strive to identify corrective and improvement measures to address this issue.
