Apical’s main operations involve the processing of CPO and PK obtained from our suppliers which generates
waste such as spent bleaching earth, used oil, lamps and batteries. For effluents, see section on Water
Management. Apical aims to reduce, reuse and recycle waste generated where possible. All hazardous
waste generated are stored at warehouses. Both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are collected and
disposed of by licensed contractors with the appropriate transport and disposal permits. For our Bio-oils
refinery, we verify environmental authorisations before signing a management contract with the third-party
contractor.

Apical has dedicated emergency response teams at our refineries. The teams are regularly trained to
prevent and deal with accidental oil spillage. In 2020, there were two oil spill incidents in SDS. No injuries
were reported in both incidents.
