2016 CPC

CPC consistently adheres to an environmental protection

policy characterized by legal and regulatory compliance,

adherence to international norms, pollution prevention,

energy conservation, waste reduction, continuous process

improvement, employee participation, social responsibility

and sustainable development. To date it has invested more

than NT$50 billion in environmental protection; the ISO 14001

environmental management system has been implemented in

all units since 1995and 21 units had achieved certification by

the end of 2015. In keeping with global trends, a company-

wide environmental accounting system was set up in 2004 to

help improve performance in environment-related matters.

The Paris Agreement adopted at the 21

Conference of

Parties of the UNFCCC (COP21) in 2015 stipulates that the rise

in global temperature should be held to under 2 ºC compared

to pre-industrial levels and that efforts should be made to hold

the increase to under 1.5 ºC. All parties to the agreement are

to reach their peak greenhouse gas emissions as soon as

possible, and reach greenhouse gas neutrality by the mid-

point of this century. Although Taiwan is not a UN member or a

signatory of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, it nevertheless pledged

nationally-determined contributions to the greenhouse gas

reduction effort to the COP21 assembly last year. The goal

is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030,

equivalent to a reduction of 20% from 2005 levels. CPC

has worked in alignment with international environmental

protection practices in reducing the company's greenhouse

gas emissions over the past 10 years. We have established

carbon dioxide reduction targets and timetables for existing

plants, and practiced emission-reduction measures by using

low-carbon fuel to conserve energy, improve equipment

efficiency and reduce waste.

A company-wide inventory of greenhouse gases was

completed in 2005 and a CO

reduction plan was initiated.

CPC's earlier CO

emission reduction target was surpassed

and the goal of the second stage of the plan was to cut CO

emissions by a cumulative total of 2.3 million tons by end-

2015; in fact a reduction of 2.73 million tons was achieved and

work on additional emission reduction continues.

Deploying the latest pollution

prevention technology to better

protect the environment

CPC actively promotes environmental protection educational

activities, aiming to use its own experience and capabilities

in the field to instill awareness of the need to care for the

environment as well as cherish the Earth and its resources.

In order to provide our children with a clean environment,

CPC calls on all citizens to work together in dealing with

ecological issues, by promoting environmentally-friendly

local development, adopting parks and forests, helping to

clean up environmentally-degraded locations and preventing

pollution in the oceans.

CPC long ago stopped supplying leaded gasoline to the

market in conformity with the fuel quality standards of the

developed world, and in doing so helped markedly improve

Taiwan's air quality. Additionally, the sulfur content of

CPC's diesel and gasoline fuel has been progressively and

substantially reduced from 2004 onwards. Moreover, vapor

recovery hoses have been installed at all CPC filling stations

and storage tanks have been fitted with vapor recovery

systems, resulting in the recovery of more than 3,200 kiloliters

of gasoline per year – equivalent to reducing the emission of

volatile organic compounds by a similar amount.

Through years of effort, the quality of Taiwan's petroleum

products has been greatly improved, until today it compares

favorably with that of Japan, the United States, and other

advanced countries. Not content to rest on its laurels,

however, in the future CPC will use the latest environmental

standards for petroleum products established by advanced

countries as the benchmark in the ongoing pursuit of even-

better quality. For the good of its homeland, as well as the

health and prosperity of its people, CPC will employ the

latest in pollution prevention technologies, consistently seek

better performance in environmental protection and pursue

sustainable development.
