Annual Report 2019

The Group electricity consumption in 2019 increased by 9.4%. The increase in consumption is primarily due to the 9.2% increase in the number of employees at our Group operations. To improve employees’ welfare, we constantly enhance our facilities in the office. Additional facilities such as a rooftop restaurant is one of the contributors to the increase in consumption as well. RedNest, RedHouse and RedPoint began monitoring its electricity consumption in 2018. Our annual target set in 2019 is a 10% reduction from the previous year. The list below are a few initiatives carried out by our entities: AirAsia Malaysia (MAA) • Introduced Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) to proactively ensure efficiency of AHU • Improved zoning circuit distribution to reduce the usage of light • Introduce hot desk seating and reshuffle seating arrangement to improve electricity efficiency AirAsia Philippines (PAA) • Installed energy-efficient Variable Speed Drives for the AHU system • Replaced all lighting for the office with LED-type bulbs AirAsia Thailand (TAA) • Installed an electricity meter to closely monitor electricity consumption • Replaced all lighting for the office with LED-type bulbs AirAsia Indonesia (IAA) • Lights and air-conditioning are switched off during lunch time (12pm to 1pm) • Installed an electricity meter to closely monitor consumption • Replaced all lighting for the office with LED-type bulbs AirAsia Japan (AAJ) • Limit the lowest temperature of the air-conditioning during summer to 26°C Waste generated from our buildings and operations are separated into hazardous (scheduled) and non-hazardous waste. Some examples of hazardous waste from our operations are spent lead acid batteries, electric and electronic assemblies, mercury or its components, fluorescent lamps, spent oils, contaminated soil/absorbent, containers, gloves, rags and filters. We ensure the handling of these wastes are fully compliant to the Environmental Quality Act 1974 Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. In 2019, a total of 31,907 litres of liquid and 41.5 tonnes of solid schedule waste were treated from our Malaysian operations alone. To handle this, five (5) Allstars from different hubs (one for each hub) were also selected to be trained and certified under Certified Environmental Professional in Scheduled Waste Management (“CePSWAM”). Scheduled Waste storage was also prepared in each hub and in compliance with the regulation set by the Malaysian Department of Environment (“DoE”). This had also led to zero observation and safety findings from DoE for all hubs. Non-Hazardous Waste in RedQ FY2019 Total amount of non-hazardous waste disposed (tonnes) 347,650 Percentage of non-hazardous waste disposed that is recycled by waste contractors 7.6% Note : Data monitoring only began in March 2019, hence the data only ranges between March to December 2019. Currently only 7.6% of our non-hazardous waste that is disposed is recycled by waste contractors. We seek to increase this value over the coming years. To ensure that our recycled waste is recycled responsibly, we engaged external recycling contractors to recycle recyclable waste collected on-board. Recyclable waste onboard in KUL, JHB, PEN, BKI, and KCH, MNL, CGK and DPS are segregated through our Onboard Cabin Waste Recycling Programme and are then sent for recycling. All general waste from our flights are disposed of by the local airport authority, but no waste report is generated for our reference. We are proud to report that we have increased recycling of collected recyclable waste from cabins by 399.0%. We undertook this process in Indonesia and Philippines this year and our operations in Thailand are expected to begin onboard waste recycling in 2020.
