            Environmental Review

            The primary objective of this environmental review was         Table 2: CO2 emission equivalents.
            to familiarise the ESI team with FMT’s business operations

            •   Water consumption
            •   Diesel fuel usage                                1.  The company utilises two different light sources: LEDs
            •   Electricity conservation                         and fluorescent lights.

                                                                 2.  Lights were consistently switched on even in areas with
