These include the Department of Environment (“DOE”), SPAN, Construction Industry Development Board (“CIDB”) and others. In addition, the Group’s operating subsidiaries are certified to various ISO standards which set best practices for operations and environmental operations. At the direction of the Board and Senior Management of Ranhill, all subsidiary companies are encouraged to undertake a thorough assessment of their operations to identify opportunities to reduce environmental footprint by considering overall management approaches to reducing energy, water and resource consumption, carbon emissions as well as waste production and where possible to adopt circular economy concepts for the recycling of waste. Ranhill’s operating companies comply with the respective regulatory standards for noise, effluent discharge, air and other requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND PRESERVATION SUPPORTING LOCAL PROCUREMENT Ranhill’s preference is for local procurement as much as possible unless such goods or services cannot be procured locally or cannot be procured locally at a competitive value proposition. Local is defined as the domestic area in which Ranhill and its subsidiary companies are operating.
