2020 Integrated Annual Report
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
ENERGY REDUCTION
XL Axiata implements various steps to reduce energy consumption, including:
• Setting operating hours for air conditioning (AC) and electricity,
namely from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Employees who need to stay in
the office past 6:30 p.m. must apply for additional electricity use.
• Setting the electricity in all meeting rooms to automatically
switched off when they are not in use.
• Equipping meeting rooms with video conferencing facilities
to avoid business trips out of town, thereby reducing energy
consumption and emissions.
• Employing an Intelligent Ventilation Cooling System (IVS), DC fans,
and Air Conditioning.
• Using a cooling system in the BTS, thereby reducing air
conditioning by 30%.
• Implementing the BTS Single RAN, which combines several types
of BTS into one to reduce energy consumption by 60%.
• Conducting network modernization with the latest technological
devices to support Green BTS, capable of providing 50% savings in
energy usage.
• Applying a Hybrid Charge Discharge Battery (CDC) system for
BTS in remote areas without electricity. CDCs reduce diesel fuel
consumption by 54%.
• Using new refrigerants to cool BTS towers and XL Axiata offices to
reduce electricity consumption.
ENERGY INTENSITY
In general, the Company recorded an increase in energy consumption of
153,451
Gigajoule
The increase number is mainly due to the uplift traffic data usage during pandemic situation. Nonetheless, through the transferred technology and various initiatives above,
the Company succeeded to reduce energy consumption in other various lines of business process.
Energy intensity is energy per unit of production, also known as data transmission (bandwidth) in terabytes. Compared to 2019, energy intensity in 2020 decreased by 28.1%. The following table illustrates energy intensity level in 2020 with two years comparison.

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane. GHG trap heat in the air causing an alteration to the Earth’s radiation equilibrium and affecting atmospheric temperature.
GHG may be anthropogenic, they may result from human activities. Aware of its responsibility towards the environment, the Company monitors the sources and levels of GHG emissions from its operations using the methodologies of the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies List of Grid Emission Factors Year: 2019, the Electricity Specific Emission Factor for Grid Electricity Econometrica Year: 2011, the World Resource Institute (2008), and the GHG Protocol tool for stationary combustion, Version 4.0. 2009 Guidelines to Defra/DECC © GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
