“Green” Renewable Energy
AMTEL Group’s operations are all housed under our corporate building named Wisma Amtel. In line with our commitment to adopting good ESG principles, Wisma Amtel’s rooftop is installed with Solar PV system. It covers an estimated area of 380 square meters and is one of our major investments in renewable energy. This solar system was approved by Tenaga Nasional Berhad on 23 March 2022 under the Net Energy Metering Scheme and is able to generate a maximum capacity of approximately 220 kWh per day. Since the commissioning of our rooftop Solar PV system in FYE 2022, the Group has continued to advance its sustainability agenda by utilising clean, renewable energy to reduce operational emissions. In FYE 2025, the system produced 91,285 kWh of renewable energy (FYE 2024: 92,716 kWh), resulting in the avoidance of 70.65 tCO₂e in greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions.
All the Group’s operations are located within our corporate premises, Wisma AMTEL, which functions as the headquarters for our business activities. In our effort to lower energy consumption and cultivate efficient energy practices, the Group has implemented various energy-saving initiatives, which include:
• Installation of the solar PV system;
• Turning off machines, plants, or other electronic and electrical equipment, such as computers, servers, electric fans, air-conditioners, lighting, etc., when not in use. This practice is reinforced during non-operational hours, including lunch breaks or after business hours, to avoid unnecessary energy consumption;
• Use of energy-efficient LED lights and air-conditioners with inverter technology;
• Encourage our employees to adopt more sustainable commuting practices, such as carpooling or using public transport, to reduce the emissions generated from daily commutes;
• Provide an awareness programme to raise employee awareness on energy efficiency;
• Implement “Earth Hour” every Friday at Wisma AMTEL, where all air conditioners (except production area will be switched off for 15 minutes, from 5.45 pm to 6.00 pm; and
• Promote the use of EV among employees by providing free EV charging facilities.
- Promote paperless office culture through the use of electronic documents in place of hard copy documents; mode of communication and correspondences among staff and peers are directed to slowly shift to paperless form.
- Reuse and recycle office stationeries, wherever permissible. For example, waste paper and paper products, soft and hard cover files are reused to reduce wastages and degradation of resources.
- Production waste and leftovers are either recycled or returned to suppliers for proper disposal.
Obsolete and end of life products (such as wire, PCBA, plastic parts and components etc) and IT products (such as CPU, hard disk, laptop, tablet, router, switch etc) are disposed of to an e-waste disposal company certified by Department of Environmental (DOE).
