environment. We ensure that our IT Parks are energy effcient, and minimise the environmental impact through the
entire life cycle, starting from design to building maintenance and operations.

Energy conservation
In FY13/14, we made considerable investments in our properties for energy
saving initiatives which generated energy savings of 7,175 MWh in the year.
This represented a 12% decline from the previous year to 54,015 MWh.
We proactively conduct periodic energy audits and carry out energy-saving
initiatives in our properties to improve energy effciency. These include
projects to optimise our air-conditioning and chiller system as well as to retroft
our lighting system.

through our operations. In FY13/14, our total carbon emissions decreased by
12% to 48,829 tonnes compared to FY12/13.
Water consumption
The overall water consumption has been maintained at more or less
constant levels taking into account addition of square footage of built
up space and increasing occupancy.
