Addressing Climate Change
The impact of climate change is one of the biggest
challenges facing every community on the planet.
We also recognise that it may have very direct impacts
on our business, as access to water and agricultural
crops become volatile or scarce. In Malaysia, we have
experienced the disruptive effect of floodings, which
has caused havoc to transport across to several parts
of the country. Although it is difficult to put a financial
value on such potential effects, we know that have to
do our best to reduce our carbon emissions.
Our greatest direct impact stems from our use of
thermal energy, used in the brewery. We estimate
these account for 6,400 tonnes of CO
2
. Most of this
comes from natural gas, and 8.7% is renewable
energy, mainly biogas obtained from the anaerobic
treatment of wastewater at our water treatment plant.
Thermal Energy consumption increased by 8.9% in
2011, compared to the previous year, mainly due to
the 7.7% increase in our bottle return rate as steam
is used in the cleaning process. Although the increase
in bottle return rate has resulted in the consumption
of more water and thermal energy, it has reduced our
carbon footprint.
In 2011, we put in place a number of initiatives to
reduce electricity consumption. We installed a new
and more efficient air compressor and a new fuel
pump. We also focused on lighting - replacing 29
units of mercury lamps with induction lamp in the
packaging and brewing operations. The mercury lamp
requires 400W of power, the induction lamp power
replacing the mercury lamp will only use 200W,
resulting in a 50% reduction in electricity consumption
from lighting. We are also focusing on eliminating
unnecessary energy use. For example, timers were
installed at isolated areas and only will turn on for
10 minutes when required, and rewiring of lighting
has enabled lights to be turned on in smaller groups.
These initiatives helped us to maintain overall
electricity consumption for 2011 at around the same
level of 2010 despite the lack of economies of scale
caused by a different packaging mix.
Our data include all activities at our brewery site
in Sungei Way, including on-site transport. We do
not currently monitor the impact of road transport
of products or the travel of staff, but we intend to
collate this data to achieve a more detailed overview
of our carbon footprint.
