A Path to Purpose-Driven Progress
Turning challenges into opportunities through ESG excellence.
Our ESG Consideration
At HMEL, we envision a world where true progress is not measured by profits alone, but by the positive impact we leave on people, the planet, and the generations that follow. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are the compass by which we steer our journey towards a future defined by sustainable growth, empowered communities, and ethical leadership. It’s all about living our values and leading with purpose to build a legacy of trust, compassion, and responsible change.
Environmental Stewardship: Guardians of the Planet
Preserving nature is our greatest responsibility. At HMEL, we respond to the environmental challenges of today as well as craft the innovative solutions that will safeguard tomorrow.
Combating Climate Change
Committed to net-zero emissions by 2040, HMEL addresses climate change with proactive measures informed by comprehensive climate risk assessments. Through initiatives like our 300 KLPD bioethanol plant and renewable energy projects, we make constant efforts to reduce our carbon footprint while delivering cleaner energy solutions.
Conserving Biodiversity
Nature is our greatest ally. At HMEL, we nurture biodiversity through extensive green belt coverage and community awareness programmes. By protecting local flora and fauna from potential negative impacts of our products, we ensure that our growth aligns harmoniously with the ecosystems.
Water Conservation
Operating in water-stressed regions, HMEL prioritises sustainable water use through advanced wastewater recycling and conservation measures. Our refinery’s reservoir with a 14-day water supply ensures uninterrupted operations and minimises freshwater dependence, thereby supporting local water security.
Waste Management
Reimagining waste as a resource, we champion a circular economy. Through advanced recycling technologies, we meet and exceed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets, diverting waste from landfills. Our waste-to-value approach turns by-products into opportunities, as demonstrated by our use of plastic waste in road construction.
Social Responsibility: Together We Rise
True progress uplifts humanity. At HMEL, we believe that empowering people is the key to transforming lives. Our social strategy focuses on the lives we touch, the opportunities we create, and the communities we help grow.
Caring for People
Stakeholder and employee support are crucial for HMEL in achieving sustainability goals. Thus, our inclusive and diverse work environment is designed to foster safety, health, and professional growth. We prioritise robust health and safety protocols to ensure every team member feels valued and secure.
Community Engagement
We believe that when communities thrive, we all rise. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, we engage in projects that enhance education, healthcare, and livelihoods. Our commitment includes skill training programmes, health camps, and sustainable livelihood initiatives, contributing to the overall growth and well-being of the communities we serve.
Governance Integrity: Doing Right with Ethical Leadership
Our governance framework is a blueprint for responsible leadership. Led by our Board of Directors and ESG committees, it facilitates rigorous oversight and accountability across every aspect of our operations.
Promoting Responsible Business
At HMEL, our business decisions are grounded in core principles of integrity and ethics. Our unwavering Code of Conduct upholds these values, nurturing enduring trust with our stakeholders. We focus on sustainable growth, aligning our economic progress with the welfare of our communities and stakeholders.
Proactive Risk Management
The world is changing fast, and we’re ready. Our proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks ensures that our operations are resilient, adaptable, and prepared for the future. This includes integrating ESG risks into capital allocation decisions and business strategies.
Transparency and Reporting
We believe in open dialogue with our stakeholders. Our ESG disclosures follow global best practices, including adherence to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, ensuring that our performance is measurable and accountable.
