SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT (CONT’D) Enhancing Waste and Recycling Practices In FY2022, an estimated 180,100 tonnes of non-hazardous waste and 12.6 tonnes of hazardous waste were generated from our business operations. Of the non-hazardous waste, 97.0% was diverted from landfills through recycling and repurposing which is as follows: • 71.7% was repurposed (composted) • 25.3% was reused or recycled On repurpose (compost), the chicken manure (60.9%) was composted into organic fertiliser while food and feed waste (10.8%) were repurposed into fertiliser or animal feeds. All disposals were done through licensed waste contractors in accordance with local regulations. In comparison with FY2021, there was a reduction of 3.7% of non-hazardous waste and 51.6% of hazardous waste due to lower production caused by COVID-19 pandemc disruption. Enhancing Repurpose Practices 109,878 tonnes of chicken manure were generated from our ILF operations of which 95.3% was composted into organic fertiliser. This conversion of chicken manure to organic fertiliser avoids GHG emissions from the biodegradation process. Even though QL has increased total tonnage of composting by 18% in FY2022, we strive to improve this rate further.

We are committed to reduce, recycle and repurpose as part of our waste management practices. • We reduce and recycle the waste generated across our value chain by proper planning and monitoring. All types of waste are recorded and monitored closely. The data contributes to the formulation of the improvement plan. • I n the repurpose approach, we optimise our chicken manure composting process to convert into organic fertiliser.
