Introduction
WCT Holdings Berhad (“WCT” or “the Group”) acknowledges that its business and the activities of its business divisions are in constant interaction with the environment, either through dependence on natural resources, including water, energy and raw materials, or through the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. With a diversified portfolio that includes engineering and construction, property development, and property investment and management, WCT strives to protect the environment and minimise environmental harm across its operations, including those that may arise from its supply chain.
This Policy outlines WCT’s commitments to addressing its significant environmental impacts and applies to all operations across its business divisions, subsidiaries, and business partners.
WCT’s Commitment
WCT is committed to the following:
The Board of Directors of WCT is responsible for establishing this Environmental Policy. Environmental performance will be monitored and reported as part of the Group’s sustainability governance framework.
This Policy shall be communicated across all business divisions, subsidiaries, business partners, employees, contractors, and other external providers of goods and services. It will also be made accessible to other stakeholders, including investors and parties potentially affected by WCT’s environmental impacts.
This Policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
-
Ensuring compliance with applicable legal requirements and other obligations related to environmental protection, including effluent management, hazardous waste generation, and air emissions.

-
Fostering environmental consciousness among stakeholders, including employees, supply chain partners, and the communities in which WCT operates.
