Intensity: is located, is a Green Mark Gold certified
building which continues to save energy and
23.2 tonnes water while providing healthier indoor air
quality and environment for the employees.

revenue StarHub Green Policy
Water Use: The StarHub Green Policy which includes
a six-point commitment continues to guide
27,500m3 our environmental initiatives. The six-point
commitments include:
General
Waste: 1. Minimise the environmental impact of
our operations. Continually review our
30 tonnes goals and commitment to protect the
global environment.
Total e-waste
Recycling: 2. Adhere to environmental
recommendations by the relevant
148.7tonnes authorities.
3. Reduce our environmental impact
by efficiently using resources, saving
energy, reducing waste, encouraging
material recycling, minimising emissions to reduce energy consumption include
of greenhouse gases and ozone-
depleting substances, and using
environmentally-friendly materials.
4. Minimise environmental loads by
adopting environmentally friendly
technologies.
5. Raising employees’ environmental
awareness through education.
6. Disclose environmental information and
support to environmental conservation
initiatives.
Climate Change
We welcome the adoption of historic climate
change deal in Paris in December 2015 to
keep temperature rises well below 20C.
We support Singapore’s pledge to reduce
StarHub Ltd Annual Report 2015
national emissions intensity by 36 per cent Overview
from 2005 levels by 2030, and to stabilise
country’s emissions with the aim of peaking
around 2030.
Potential impacts of climate change on
Singapore include sea level rise, affected
water resources, biodiversity risks, effects
on public health, urban heat island effect
and food security, and that may pose
potential risks for our business if these
impacts materialise.
We believe wireless and telecom Strategy
technologies will play an important role in
helping the world to make a transition to low Performance
carbon economies.
Our climate change mitigation efforts are
in the areas of emissions reduction, energy
efficiency, green building, reducing and
recycling waste, water conservation and
promoting individual action.
In recent years, we have upgraded our
telecom infrastructure to adopt energy
efficient technologies. Our employees
are involved in several environmental
volunteering programmes. Our customers
regularly participate in our e-waste
recycling initiatives.
Our Performance
Energy
Our energy consumption mainly results Governance & Sustainability
from data centres, base stations, offices
and transport operations. Our strategies Financials
employee education, adopting energy
efficient technologies and using renewable
energy wherever possible.
Measures to improve the cabling
management and air-conditioning
equipment have improved energy
efficiency in our data centres over the years.
Our energy use inched up slightly compared
with the previous year on account of addition
of new equipment to support growth and
serve our customers better.
