Bulletin Express04-24

MOG Digitech released its seventh Environmental, Social and Governance report, covering the 2025 financial year and spanning its optical-retail operations in Malaysia and digital-payment business in mainland China.

Environmental performance • Purchased electricity reached 809,532 kWh, lifting energy intensity to 3,032 kWh per employee (2023 baseline: 2,485 kWh). The Group aims to keep any increase in energy-use intensity within 5%. • Scope 1 emissions remained nil; Scope 2 (location-based) totalled 453.2 tCO₂e, with combined Scope 1+2 intensity unchanged at 1.7 tCO₂e per employee. A 2030 target seeks a 2% cut in intensity versus the 2023 baseline of 1.4 tCO₂e per employee. • Scope 3 (business travel) contributed 10.6 tCO₂e. • Non-hazardous waste comprised 3.9 tonnes of paper, or 0.01 tonnes per employee, while packaging material usage fell to 16.32 tonnes (0.09 kg per RMB1,000 revenue). • Water consumption was 5,396 m³, equal to 20.2 m³ per employee.

Governance and risk management The Board retains ultimate responsibility for ESG strategy and risk oversight, supported by management-level data collection and annual reviews. Climate risks are integrated into the Group’s risk matrix, and no material regulatory breaches were recorded during the year.

Social indicators • Headcount declined to 267 from 308; female employees accounted for 64.0%. • Staff turnover dropped sharply to 15.7% (2024: 34.1%), driven mainly by lower attrition in Malaysian retail outlets. • 75.6% of employees received training, averaging 16.1 hours each; anti-corruption training totalled 2,432 hours for 304 staff and 144 hours for 18 managers. • No work-related injuries or fatalities occurred for the third consecutive year.

Supply chain and product responsibility The approved-supplier list expanded to 93 vendors, 72% of which are located in Malaysia. No product recalls were required; 19 customer complaints were resolved during the period.

Community investment Cash contributions reached RM128,000 (≈ RMB226,560), including RM100,000 to UNICEF programmes and industry sponsorships supporting retail-sector excellence and local education.

MOG Digitech states it will continue to monitor resource efficiency, refine its climate-resilience analysis and maintain its zero-tolerance stance on corruption, child and forced labour.
