Towards Sustainable Living through Conservation
Environmental Protection and Ecological Conservation
To fulfill its corporate responsibility, CPC has long been dedicated to various environmental protection efforts, including improving wastewater disposal, air pollution, waste treatment, and limiting the contamination of soil and groundwater. CPC implements environmental protection policies, actively prevents pollution, and strengthens the control of the sources of pollution. The company utilizes low pollution production processes and the latest pollution control facilities. CPC also uses the best available control technology (BACT) and equipment to reduce pollution caused by the production, transportation, and storage processes of its new projects.
Achieving Significant Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Climate Risk Assessments
In response to national carbon reduction policies and global climate risk response trends, CPC has set mid-term carbon reduction targets for 2025 and 2030, and has set a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Since the introduction of the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory system in 2004, we have conducted an annual inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and actively promoted energy conservation and carbon reduction plans. By improving energy efficiency, strengthening energy management, regional energy complementary integration and promoting the installation of renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by approximately 36.8% from 2005 to 2022 through third- party verification.
