Sustainability Report
As a public listed renewable energy company, Jentayu Sustainables Berhad is committed to advancing sustainable development through clean energy generation, responsible environmental stewardship, and sound governance practices. Sustainability is embedded within our corporate strategy and risk management framework as we progress towards becoming a Renewable Energy Powerhouse.
Our Sustainability Reports provide an overview of our material sustainability matters, governance structure, performance, and ongoing commitments in alignment with regulatory requirements and evolving global standards.
Our Sustainability Framework
At JENTAYU Sustainables Berhad, sustainability is embedded into how we create long term value as a renewable energy developer and Independent Power Producer. Our Sustainability Framework guides our strategy, decision making and day to day operations as we transition towards becoming a Renewable Energy Powerhouse.
Our framework is anchored on two strategic pillars, strengthening our existing business foundation and expanding our green power portfolio, supported by responsible governance, community engagement and operational excellence. Together, these guide how we manage our material environmental, social and governance priorities.

Our Material Sustainability Matters
Economic
Sustain Economic Contribution
Maintaining financial resilience is essential to support our long-term renewable energy growth. We have strengthened our economic foundation by securing a 40-year Power Purchase Agreement and EPCC contract for Project Oriole, enhancing project bankability and revenue visibility, while recalibrating growth targets, prioritising disciplined capital allocation and improving operational efficiency across our business segments.
Alignment with UN SDGS
Environmental
Produce Energy that Works with Nature
Developing renewable energy is central to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening long term energy security. We are advancing our 162MW run of river hydropower project in Sabah, supported by a 40 year Power Purchase Agreement and required regulatory approvals, while our existing solar rooftop portfolio delivers annual carbon emissions avoidance of 408 tCO₂e as part of our ongoing pollution avoidance efforts. The Group is targeting cumulative carbon avoidance of 450,000 tCO₂e by FY2030 as our renewable energy portfolio expands.
Produce Energy that Works with Nature
Protecting biodiversity and minimising ecological impact are essential to responsible renewable energy development. We have strengthened our environmental management approach by obtaining EIA approval for Project Oriole, formalising mitigation and monitoring measures through our Board approved Biodiversity Action Plan and incorporating regulatory conditions into project contracts to ensure compliance throughout construction and operations, while progressing towards our target to restore 58 hectares of land by FY2027.
Reduce Material Footprint
Efficient resource use and responsible waste management are essential to minimising environmental impact and strengthening operational efficiency. We advance our paperless initiatives and monitor resource use under Project Oriole through established material baselines, implement structured waste segregation and reporting across our offices and healthcare operations, and are committed to setting measurable waste reduction targets to enhance transparency and environmental performance.
Reduce Energy Footprint
Managing energy use responsibly supports climate risk mitigation, operational resilience and environmental performance. Guided by our Energy Conservation Policy, we implement efficiency measures across our operations, monitor electricity consumption under Sustainability Working Group oversight, and disclose annual energy usage data to ensure transparent tracking and continuous improvement.
Reduce Emission Footprint
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is central to our climate responsibility and long-term sustainability. We continuously strengthen our GHG management framework by enhancing data accuracy and validation under Sustainability Working Group oversight, reporting Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with the GHG Protocol using recognised emission factors, and reinforcing energy efficiency initiatives through internal policies.
The Group recognises the importance of assessing climate related risks and opportunities across short-, medium- and long-term horizons, including regulatory and financing risks, transition risks arising from policy and market developments, and long-term physical risks and growth opportunities associated with the global shift towards renewable energy. We are committed to progressively enhancing our climate risk management approach and developing quantified emissions reduction targets as our renewable energy assets reach stable operational phases.
Alignment with UN SDGS
Social
Contribute to Local Communities
Delivering the energy transition responsibly requires inclusive community engagement and long-term socioeconomic contribution. We engage proactively with communities surrounding our projects, identify potential beneficiaries for electrification and environmental initiatives, and maintain transparent grievance channels under our Whistleblowing Policy to address social, environmental and human rights concerns. The Group encourages employee participation in community initiatives in collaboration with charitable partners and supports local employment and sourcing for major projects by prioritising local workforce and supplier participation where feasible. Our community focus areas are aligned with our core renewable energy and healthcare businesses, ensuring that community investments respond to local needs while supporting long term business sustainability.
Strengthen Organisation via Diversity & Inclusivity
A diverse and inclusive workplace strengthens collaboration, resilience and long-term organisational performance. We enhance our human capital management through structured HR systems, performance appraisal frameworks and flexible work guidelines, supported by formal policies on Human Rights, Occupational Safety and Health, and prevention of sexual harassment. We promote leadership continuity through succession planning, prioritise employee wellbeing initiatives, and invest in targeted training programmes across renewable energy, healthcare, compliance and safety, delivering 1,438 training hours to strengthen capability and organisational sustainability. The Group also creates internship and early career opportunities, including collaboration with government initiatives such as the Malaysia Short-Term Employment Programme (MySTEP) programme, to support youth employability and build a sustainable talent pipeline.
Protect Our People
The health and safety of our employees, contractors and surrounding communities is a core priority. We implement a structured Occupational Safety and Health framework supported by formal policies, an OSH Committee and designated coordinators to oversee risk management and incident reporting across our operations. For Project Oriole, dedicated Community Health and Safety and Emergency Response Plans are in place to manage construction and environmental risks in line with regulatory requirements.
The Group has set a target to maintain zero fatalities and to keep Lost Time Injury Rate as low as reasonably practicable, with performance monitored and reviewed annually. Health and safety performance is tracked using indicators such as LTIR and fatality rates, aligned with GRI 403 and ILO guidelines to ensure consistency with internationally recognised occupational safety standards. Safety oversight is embedded at Board level through our governance and risk management framework, and we maintain a strong safety record with zero work related injuries or fatalities recorded.
Alignment with UN SDGS
Governance
Protect the Rights of Our People
Respecting human rights is essential to maintaining a safe, inclusive and ethical organisation. We have established a Board approved Human Rights Policy aligned with internationally recognised standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and relevant ILO conventions, covering our workforce, supply chain and business partners. Our Whistleblowing framework provides confidential and retaliation free channels for stakeholders to raise concerns, supported by internal grievance mechanisms to address workplace matters. The Group also recognises children as a vulnerable group and is committed to respecting and supporting children’s rights, alongside our strict prohibition of child labour.
Build a Sustainable Supply Chain
A responsible supply chain strengthens operational resilience, reduces environmental and social risks, and supports long term value creation. We embed sustainability considerations into contractor selection and procurement processes, ensuring environmental and social requirements are incorporated into project contracts and aligned with regulatory conditions. Guided by our Procurement Policy, we promote fairness, transparency and ethical standards across the Group, while prioritising local suppliers, with 96 percent of total procurement spend directed to local businesses to support community resilience.
