Annual Report 2019

WATER We recognise the impact of water consumption and the importance of conserving water. In RedQ, all sanitary fittings in the toilets are fitted with water saving features, such as auto shut water tab and flushing system with variable water pressure control. Proactive maintenance was also scheduled based on the usage analysis and defect trend. Water consumption in RedQ in 2019 increased by 21.9% which is primarily due to the 3.5% increase in the number of employees in Malaysia operations and additional facilities such as a rooftop restaurant. The water consumption in RedBase decreased 38.7% because the employees moved to a new office.
