PRODUCT & SERVICES RESPONSIBILITY

AWS infrastructure is up to four times more energy-efficient, due to shared resources, advanced cooling technologies and the integration of renewable energy sources. AWS has also committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by 99%. Beyond ERP, we continue to migrate more systems to cloud platforms to improve energy efficiency and strengthen cybersecurity. Our eCommerce platform moved to Adobe Commerce Cloud (hosted on AWS) in December 2021.

We take deliberate measures to ensure that our tin is sourced responsibly. We purchase only MSC-brand tin from Malaysia Smelting Corporation Bhd. (MSC), a conformant smelter recognised by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). This reinforces our commitment to responsible sourcing and ethically produced materials.

Our Retail POS system was migrated to AWS in April 2024. Most recently, our new HR system was implemented on Rymnet, which operates on Microsoft Azure Cloud.

BIODEGRADABLE AND RECYCLABLE PACKAGING

Starting from September 2024, the Packaging and Design team began a structured initiative to reduce the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) across our packaging materials. EPS, while lightweight and protective, has a high environmental footprint and is difficult to recycle. Replacing it with more sustainable alternatives is an important step in lowering our overall emissions and reducing waste.

As part of this transition, the following improvements were introduced:

Honeycomb board is now used as filler material in master cartons, replacing EPS blocks. This material is fully recyclable, lightweight, and provides comparable protection during transport.

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING OF TIN AND GOLD PLATING MATERIALS

Royal Selangor remains committed to sourcing tin from suppliers and smelters that uphold ethical and sustainable business practices. All tin materials are sourced from conflict-free zones and include MSC Straits Refined Tin of SN99.85% and SN99.9% LLT100ppm. We also procure potassium gold cyanide for gold plating from suppliers that prioritise sustainability throughout their supply chains. All waste generated from the use of potassium gold cyanide is managed and disposed of in full compliance with relevant waste management regulations. Our gold plating solution is likewise sourced exclusively from conflict-free zones.

Foam wrap has replaced grey PU foam in various packaging applications, reducing reliance on petroleum-based foams.

Cardboard packaging has been adopted to replace EPS inserts traditionally used in wooden boxes, enabling easier recycling and reducing plastic-based waste.

As the project is still ongoing, the full carbon reduction in MtCO₂e will only be confirmed at the start of FY 2025/2026 once all packaging components have been transitioned and measured.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION DRIVE

Royal Selangor has been using cloud storage for our ERP LN system since 2018 through Amazon Web Services (AWS). Moving to the cloud significantly reduces our energy footprint compared to traditional on-premises data centres.

Historically, GHG emissions under Scope 3 from packaging materials were not captured. This initiative marks an important step in strengthening our Scope 3 reporting by quantifying emissions associated with packaging and demonstrating our commitment to reducing lifecycle impacts across our products.
