5.Environmental Conservation
 
Rain Water Harvesting
We harvest rain water and the water is then used for general washing and watering of plant.


Green Concept Warehouse Design


  • Natural ventilation is introduced in the warehouses by the provision of large numbers of aluminum louvers throughout the warehouses. The louver admits indirect light and helps the natural air flow throughout the warehouse.

  • Translucent sheets were placed at strategic locations on the wall of warehouses to harness the natural light during day time to brighten up the warehouses aimed at reducing artificial lighting.

  • Together with the superb heat insulation thermofoil installed below the roof, the indoor temperature for the warehouse is always much cooler than the outside temperature during the day time.

  • Timers are also installed in warehouse to switch on/off lights at set timings aimed at reducing wastage.

  • Light color roof and wall cladding reflect sunlight thus absorb less heat resulting in less air conditioning loading.

  • Low E glass introduced on some parts of the office block at The Ship reduces the heat gain due to sun light.

  • Interlocking paver used for the car park in front of the office block at The Ship also releases less heat to the air comparing with the normal tar mac or concrete surface.


Green Transportation & Smart Warehouse Management System



  • GPS mounted onto vehicles to monitor drivers’ driving behavior and degree of compliance to predetermined routes aimed at motivating the drivers’ in desired fuel efficient driving behavior and utilization of efficient routes in reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

  • Engine off policy when waiting at warehouse compound in reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

  • Implemented Smart Warehouse Management System (WMS) in increasing productivity, accuracy and reducing wastage thus resulting in less engagement of essential resources (manpower, machine and money) in preserving the environment in carbon emissions, usage of paper, fuel, and utility.


Green Environment: The Sea of Pineapples



  • The Sea of Pineapples is the 1.5km stretch of landscaping along the property comprises various species of pineapple.
  • Pineapples (approximately 28,000 plants) are planted on the land in between One Logistics Hub and Kesas Highway.

  • This serves as a measure to cooling off the environment along that stretch of Kesas Highway while providing educational and recreational for visitors and staff. 


Green Sustainability Actions

  • Turning off lights and air conditioning during lunch time.

  • Adjusting air conditioning to comfortable temperature.

  • PKT Carpool Campaign - Car pooling of staff to/from work with RM2 incentive voucher per head.
