EPG's First ESG Report: A New Era for Sustainable Expansion
On April 20, 2026, EPG issued its initial ESG report, outlining its commitment to sustainability as it aims for international growth. This comprehensive document provides insight into how EPG is integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into its global operations, ensuring that as it expands, it does so responsibly and sustainably.
Environmental Commitment
EPG has made significant strides in environmental management. The company has adhered to all relevant environmental regulations, achieving a remarkable 100% waste treatment and disposal rate. Furthermore, EPG completed its first greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions and key categories under Scope 3. This inventory serves as a foundational element for the company’s emission management strategies and long-term decarbonization roadmap. Through this rigorous approach, EPG has set a meaningful benchmark for its environmental performance.
Social Responsibility
In addressing social aspects, EPG highlighted its dedication to promoting diversity within its workforce. Women constitute 31% of its total employees, a noteworthy statistic in an industry where such representation is often lacking. Additionally, 85% of local hires in Malaysia have ascended to leadership roles, reflecting EPG's commitment to nurturing talent in its operational regions. The organization has also maintained a diverse supply chain, with approximately 47% of suppliers located outside of mainland China, further supporting global economic stability.
Governance Practices
Looking at governance, EPG’s board of directors includes two women, constituting 22% of its membership. The board has demonstrated strong engagement, with a 100% participation rate in recent meetings. As EPG refines its ESG framework, it is establishing a dedicated ESG committee to oversee ongoing improvements. The integration of ESG management systems into both existing and planned facilities is prioritized, starting with the under-construction manufacturing facility in Malaysia. This proactive governance strategy is designed to extend across the supply chain, with broader implementation scheduled to debut at an upcoming partner conference in Shanghai.
A Vision for Sustainable Infrastructure
Alick Wan, EPG’s founder and board chair, emphasizes the importance of responsible development in the global market. He asserts, “Expanding internationally only makes sense if we do it responsibly.” Wan sees the opportunity to redefine sustainable infrastructure in the artificial intelligence era, proving that high-performance systems can also maintain a minimal ecological footprint. He believes that achieving this balance is possible through modular infrastructure, a key area where the industry can innovate.
EPG’s contributions to the book "Greener Data, Volume III," released on Earth Day 2026, further illustrate its commitment. The chapter authored by EPG discusses how modular construction minimizes on-site waste, reduces embedded carbon, and supports long-term lifecycle sustainability, asserting that responsible scaling and commercial ambition are not mutually exclusive.
Future Directions
With approximately $200 million raised in recent Series B and B+ funding rounds, EPG is poised to strengthen its enterprise-wide ESG governance and expand its modular approach globally. The full report can be accessed at
