In line with our efforts to conserve water by capturing rainwater that would otherwise runoff into sewers, we continue our rainwater harvesting initiative at QL Breeder Farms Sdn. Bhd. for non-potable uses. However, we observed a 26.5% decrease in rainwater volume from 6,754 m3 in FY2023 to 4,962 m3 in FY2024 attributable to reduced rainfall in the region.
We extended our efforts to QL Kitchen Sdn. Bhd. by the installation of a rainwater harvesting system. In FY2024, we successfully harvested 111 m3 of rainwater for non-potable uses.
QL is actively adopting renewable energy technologies to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel-based energy by harvesting clean energy. In FY2024, we generated 977,506.75 GJ energy from solar, biogas and biomass, replacing 45.2% of our energy needs.
QL Kitchen Sdn. Bhd. increased its solar generation capacity by installing 1,802 solar panels with a capacity of 1,000 kWp at the second kitchen in July 2023.
As of FY2024, 31,959 pieces of solar panels were installed across the Group, enabling us to offset 10,062.95 tonnes of GHG emissions.
