FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022/2023 89 GOING FORWARD FGV is committed to building upon the momentum of our recent sustainability initiatives to drive even greater impact and positive change. We will continue to prioritise collaboration, innovation, and environmental responsibility in all aspects of our operations. By further expanding our efforts to promote waste reduction, resource conservation, and recycling culture, we aim to create a more sustainable and resilient organisation. Through ongoing partnerships, education, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, we will strive to achieve our vision of a future where waste is minimised, resources are conserved, and communities flourish in harmony with the planet. Together, we can continue to lead the way towards a more sustainable future for generations to come. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Buy-back Programmes In pursuit of a circular economy, we have collaborated with Alam Flora Environmental Solutions (AFES) to promote recycling at our Headquarters. Through this collaboration, we managed to gather approximately 1.2 metric tonnes of recyclable waste during a three-day event. The collected recyclables comprised various materials, with black and white paper constituting the majority at 42.6% of the total collection. Additionally, mixed paper accounted for 21.1%, followed by old corrugated cardboards (15.7%), used cooking oil (8.37%), old newspapers (4.73%), and mixed plastics (1.39%). The diverse range of materials collected and the significant quantity amassed during the event underscore FGV’s commitment to responsible resource management and sustainable practices. These endeavours represent a substantial stride toward waste reduction, resource conservation, and the promotion of recycling culture within the organisation. BYOC Concept Introducing the Bring-Your-Own-Container (BYOC) concept to our sustainability event, we collaborated with OPACK, Gloria Jean’s Coffees, and Abi Cafe to encourage Headquarters staff to diminish their dependence on disposable food containers by adopting reusable alternatives. Through OPACK’s rent-and-return foodware service, we successfully collected approximately 277 rented foodware items, equivalent to diverting 6.87 kilogrammes of plastic waste from landfills. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from both staff and vendors affirmed the success and impact of this initiative, underscoring its potential for further adoption and expansion in our sustainability endeavours. These innovative initiatives signify a significant leap forward in our journey towards a more sustainable future. Through innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility, we are reshaping waste management practices and effecting positive change across all levels within FGV. As we continue to push the boundaries of possibility, we remain steadfast in our dedication to fostering an organisation where waste is minimised, resources are conserved, and communities thrive in harmony with the planet. FGV collaborated in various programmes to promote sustainability and foster positive change among people.
