Annual Effluent Generated and Effluent to Production Output

Energy management at Royal Selangor is overseen by the Net Zero Steering Committee, recognising that non-renewable energy is a finite resource that must be conserved responsibly. Our journey began in 2015 with the implementation of efficient energy management practices, followed by the adoption of renewable energy through the installation of solar panels. The table below details energy consumption from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), solar energy generation, and energy consumed relative to production output.

Energy consumption for FY2023/2024 reached 3,792,582 MWh, marking a 5.15% increase compared to FY2022/2023, which recorded 3,597,096 MWh. This increase corresponds closely to the 5.57% growth in production output, as reflected in the total man hours, rising from 324,187.4 hours in FY2022/2023 to 343,316.4 hours in FY2023/2024. Additionally, recent developments around the visitor centre have, at times, reduced sunlight access to solar panels, subtly affecting solar energy output. Future energy efficiency improvements will focus on adopting advanced technologies and expanding renewable energy solutions.

Water is a precious resource, and Royal Selangor diligently monitors its monthly usage by volume and cost. Our analysis of water consumption (m³) relative to production output in man-hours highlights key trends, as detailed in the table below. We observed a 36% increase in water consumption in FY2023/2024. This rise was primarily due to a faulty valve that caused an unexpected spike towards the end of the financial year.

We are taking proactive steps to prevent similar issues in the future. As part of our renewed commitment under our ESG initiative, we have implemented daily monitoring of water meters and introduced stringent checks to ensure stable and efficient water consumption. These measures will help us identify and address anomalies promptly, reinforcing our commitment to responsible resource management.

Water Management, Waste, and Effluent

Managing water and waste responsibly remains a top priority for us. We continuously strive to reduce waste generation and ensure that all effluents are treated to minimise environmental impact. Water, as a precious resource, is central to our conservation efforts, and we are committed to implementing efficient water management practices throughout our operations. Our analysis examines wastewater volume (m³) in relation to production output measured in man hours, as outlined in the table below.

We monitor the total volume of effluent generated monthly. Despite an increase in production output in FY2023/2024, effluent discharge decreased by 28%, reflecting improved efficiency. This reduction was largely due to fewer processes requiring water intensive washing.
