ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Energy management is an integral part of an organisation’s sustainability
efforts as it encourages long-term savings by minimising costs
while lessening the negative impact of electricity generation on the
environment. At CMS, we are constantly exploring new avenues and
devising new ways in which we can incorporate energy-saving measures
that will help us to achieve optimum energy utilisation across all our
Business Divisions. For the year in review, we continued to implement
many of our previously established initiatives while adding a few new
measures to our environmentally-based undertakings.
Sustainability at Our Workplace
Go Green gets the thumbs up
The ‘CMS Goes Green’ Awareness Campaign was launched on 4 March
2016 with managers dressed in an invigorating green. ‘CMS Goes
Green’ posters were presented to the Head of Divisions and 10 trees
were ceremonially planted. The project calls for us to reduce our carbon
footprint and our utility bills through the execution of the following
