Notes:
In setting our target and goal for RoHS-compliant materials, ViTrox will move into self-declaration and monitoring of RoHS-compliant material
starting in 2023. We target to achieve zero (0) use of hazardous material and achieve 100% RoHS-compliant in all ranges of our products by
2024 with the exception of Advanced 3D X-ray Inspection (“AXI”) machines.
This data represented 100% diversion of wooden waste from landfill from July 2021 to December 2021 as we started collecting data from July
2021.
In 2022, we communicated with 50 key suppliers on Supplier SAQ. For 2023 and 2030, we strive to communicate at least 40% and 80% of
active suppliers on the Supplier SAQ.
Incident rate refers to the number of occupational incidents occurring in a workplace every 1 million hours worked.
Lost time injury frequency rate refers to the number of lost time injuries occurring in a workplace every 1 million hours worked.
We launched CERA in October 2020. As such, 2020 CERA represents a three (3)-month rating from October 2020 to December 2020.
Building Green Campus for Environmental Sustainability
Today, the most important climate goal of the world is limiting the Earth’s warming to 1.5°C. It’s the agreement made by world leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2021. As a signatory of the Paris Agreement, Malaysia has increased its mitigation ambition with an unconditional target to cut carbon intensity against GDP by 45% compared to 2005 levels by 2030.
In alignment with the global goals and national agenda, ViTrox is taking action and implementing initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change and its impacts. This year, ViTrox made a commitment to achieving net-zero (0) carbon emissions, Scope 2, by the end of 2030.
Taking all the above into account, ViTrox designed and constructed Campus 2.0 and the future Campus 3.0 with green initiatives. Located in Batu Kawan Industrial Park, Penang, ViTrox Campus 2.0 has obtained Green Building Index Certification and Penang Green Office Certification since its establishment in 2018.
