CARBON REDUCTION ACTIONS

Our Headquarters Building was designed with a District Cooling System (DCS)-connected air-conditioning system to reduce cooling energy consumption. To further promote the use of natural renewable resources, we installed building-integrated photovoltaics on the canopy and solar tree lighting in the outdoor piazza, and showcased award-winning energy-efficient smart living technologies at the E&M InnoFoyer.

To reduce our carbon footprint, we have implemented reduction strategies, including upgrading vehicle fleets, improving energy efficiency in buildings, and reducing paper usage and water consumption. For the current reporting period, the EMSD's total Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased to approximately 17741 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).

We advocate the widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) for net zero carbon emissions. Our fleet comprised 201 vehicles in total, including 17 EVs and five hybrid models. By steadily integrating more EVs and hybrid vehicles into our fleet, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint and lead by example in sustainable transportation practices.
