production-cost reductions and pursuing maximum profitability – while it moves toward corporatized operations.
At the same time, it has energetically sought opportunities to cooperate with major international oil companies in
upstream exploration and production, petrochemicals development and marketing channel ventures – all with the aim
of enlarging its business scope, expanding its presence in international markets and increasing corporate sustainability.
CPC aims, in this way, to become an integrated international energy group encompassing oil and gas exploration and
production, petrochemicals and high-tech operations; while continuing to provide the people of Taiwan with high-
efficiency, high-quality energy products and services.
As a state-owned enterprise, CPC will pursue profitability but in doing so will not neglect its social responsibilities as
a corporate citizen. In addition to continuously enhancing the quality of its petroleum products, promoting the use
of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a source of clean energy, and working hard for environmental protection over the
years, the company has - without regard to cost - also fulfilled its mission of public service by supplying the petroleum
products needed by the military and other people located in Taiwan's remote areas and offshore islands. At the same
time the company has consistently carried out social-care activities, promoted public understanding of the petroleum
industry, educated people concerning the safe use of gasoline and natural gas, held health and safety workshops and
been a leader to other businesses in strengthening industrial safety culture. Further, CPC has supported disadvantaged
groups, participated in social-welfare activities, funded arts and cultural activities and sponsored elite athletes. Its public
service role also includes assisting neighborhood development around its plants and oil exploration areas, encouraging
ecological conservation, fostering local culture, promoting environmental education and stimulating local progress.
These activities are all in keeping with the 21
st
-century trend toward corporate sustainability and express CPC's balanced
emphasis on economic growth, environmental protection and social welfare.
CPC initiated the following sustainability policies at the end of 2003 in keeping with the global drive towards more
effective environmental protection:-
●
Conformity with government regulations and international protocols
●
Full-scale clean production
●
Efficient utilization of resources to conserve water and energy
●
Emphasis on social responsibility and expansion of beneficial social services
●
Tracking of key environmental indicators and promotion of information transparency
●
Active commitment to R&D for the creation of new environmentally-friendly business models and technologies.
CPC joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in 2006 and is pursuing sustainability
objectives in the four areas of : environment and conservation; social consciousness policy; R&D; and environmental
accounting and information. CPC also published "Sustainable Development Reports" in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 in
fulfillment of its responsibility to disclose corporate information relating to sustainability.
In these times when global warming and climate change are becoming increasingly evident, we will carry out in good faith
our role as the principal domestic producer and supplier of clean energy and in doing so will strive to create a win-win-win
outcome among the three aspects of environmental protection, economic development, and social responsibility.
