Wastewater Management [303-2]
The Menara BCA building management utilized wastewater disposal installation or Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to treat wastewater. Meanwhile, the Wisma Pondok Indah and KCU Bintaro buildings are equipped with a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), while Wisma BCA Foresta is equipped with a Rain Harvest Tank system.
Treated wastewater is used for non-hygienic needs, such as watering plants and flushing toilets.
Domestic wastewater generated from the Bank's operational activities does not have a negative impact on the environment because it does not contain hazardous and toxic compounds. During 2022 there were also no incidents of spills of wastewater, chemicals, or B3 liquid waste in the BCA office area.
Use of Recycled Materials and Environmentally Friendly Materials
[301-2]BCA has not harnessed recycled materials for the Bank's main operational activities. However, we support recycled materials utilization by ordering calendars from vendors that use recycled papers. In addition, we print the. We also use environmentally friendly materials, including biodegradable plastic (oxium) in daily calendars plastic wraps and use of LED lights in BCA office buildings. Gradually, we also replaced desktop PCs with laptops with more power-saving processors that would reduce electricity consumption for charging.
