POLLUTION PREVENTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 27
2017 ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
Since 1995, all of the company's business units have been required to compile ISO 14001 environmental management system programs and 20 of them had received official certification by the end of 2017. Following global practice, a cross-corporation environmental accounting system to track the effectiveness of the company's environmentally-friendly measures was set up as far back as 2004.
Taiwan's own Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act was formally promulgated on July 1, 2015. Its goal is the reduction of nationwide annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to no more than 50% of the year 2005 level by 2050. Following the Paris COP 21 Agreement becoming effective on November 4 2016, CPC has vigorously expanded its carbon reduction plan, committing the entire company to GHG emissions reduction and setting carbon dioxide emissions reduction targets and time-lines for its existing plants. Going further, it will employ measures such as utilizing low-carbon fuels, energy conservation, raising the

with the plan. In fact, since company-wide GHG emissions reduction has been in effect as described above, as of end- 2017 there had been a saving of 2.936 million tons.
Moreover, in recent years the company has initiated energy- saving projects that deploy the latest technology to effect real improvement in the energy usage efficiency level at all of its workplaces. From 2005 through 2017 cumulative energy efficiencies of 828,000 kiloliters of oil equivalent (KLOE) were achieved, equating to a reduction of 2.467 million tons of CO2 emissions. In that context and in line with the Energy Conservation Action Plan for Government Agencies and Schools promulgated by the Executive Yuan and which targets holding consumption as measured by the EUI below the given baseline until end-2019, CPC has
