Press Metal recognises the critical importance of addressing climate change across its operations and value chain. We remain committed to adapting our business model to evolving climate-related challenges while continuously pursuing opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency.

Our climate management practices are aligned with industry standards, emerging best practices, and peer developments, while supporting Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap and internationally recognised frameworks. Guided by the Group’s Climate Change Strategy, Net-Zero Roadmap, and Climate Action Plan, we integrate climate mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce GHG emissions, prioritise key initiatives, and support our transition to a lower-carbon economy while balancing growth opportunities.

Energy management across Press Metal is guided by our Environmental Policy, Environmental Mission Statement, and Energy Management Policy. It is important to use energy efficiently and continuously identify opportunities to shift energy source from non-renewable to renewable energy, to achieve operational GHG emissions reduction.

We are committed to increasing the use of renewable energy across our operations and reducing reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources where technically and commercially feasible. By continuously improving our energy performance, we strengthen our long-term competitiveness while supporting a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

Press Metal is dedicated to management of our environmental impacts including air emissions. We set and implement internal standards and relevant initiatives to mitigate our air emissions impact and ensure the air emissions meet the applicable regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. We closely monitor air emissions from our manufacturing operations to comply with the permissible air quality limits stipulated in local authority standards and regulations.

At Press Metal, material stewardship is embedded across our manufacturing operations through disciplined material management, process optimisation, and consistent operational controls. Our approach combines by-product recovery with circular reintegration, focusing on the reuse of both internally generated process scrap and externally sourced recycled aluminium that meet defined material specifications and quality requirements. Through these practices, we enhance material yield, reduce reliance on primary raw materials, and extend the lifecycle of aluminium within our operations, supporting greater resource efficiency and circularity.

Press Metal's waste management approach is guided by the Environmental Mission Statement and our comprehensive waste management practice encompasses several vital elements; centred around designing and managing products and processes that minimise waste volume, promote conservation, and recover waste resources.

At Press Metal, we are committed to effective waste management by implementing the 4Rs Approach: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover. The 4Rs Approach actively accentuates reducing waste generation at source, re-using, recycling and recovering valuable by-products and processing our operational waste in a responsible manner from cradle-to-gate.

Water is a shared resource and it is important to the communities in which we operate in. Acknowledging that, Press Metal has taken a proactive stance towards responsible water resource management across our operations.

Our commitment to managing water resources is outlined in our Environmental Mission Statement. Our Water Management Plan guides effective water utilisation through established action plans, encompassing facility enhancements, process optimisations, monitoring, inspections and educational initiatives throughout our manufacturing facilities to optimise water efficiency and identify areas for improvement.

As a responsible organisation, Press Metal is committed to managing our environmental impact across our value chain activities. Most of our manufacturing facilities are located within designated industrial zones, where land-use planning and environmental controls are focused on industrial activities. Our smelters undertake individual Environmental Impact Assessments (“EIAs”) to assess and identify any adverse environmental impacts before the initiation of any planning and construction activities, as well as during the operational phase of their facilities, where required by regulatory authorities. Similarly, our China entities adhere to the law of the People’s Republic of China on EIAs.

None of the Group’s sites are located within or adjacent to World Heritage Sites, protected areas or key biodiversity areas, which reduces our exposure to sensitive ecological zones.
