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.
