Water Stewardship
Water Stewardship
Water is an essential resource for SCGP's business operations. Regarding the use of water resources with the most value and most significant benefit, SCGP has applied the 3R principle to improve the production process to reduce water withdrawal, reuse, and recycle water in the production process, including the restoration of the natural water resources. To discharge water to public sources, SCGP strictly complies with laws & regulations to prevent any impact on the environment or communities.
Moreover, with today's climate change conditions, which has a significant effect on water management, such as unseasonal and erratic rainfall patterns, no rains at the headwater area, depletion of water volume in the dams. Coupled with the increasing demand of water consumption in all geographical areas and sectors creates a risk of water shortage in the manufacturing process and nearby communities. SCGP is committed to leveraging the capability to manage the water through the Integrated Water Management Working Team comprising of representatives from every business to formulate a strategy to address water-related risks and water usage efficiency. SCGP also set up a function unit for water-related risks – monitoring, working with the government and industry sectors, with digital technology adoption, and creating innovation to increase water usage efficiency in the production process and recycle the treated water.
