  1. Coverage: 100% of production volume

  2. The data in this table was inventoried according to the Ministry of Environment's inventory guidelines (ARS), and therefore, there is a slight discrepancy compared to the ISO 14064 database (AR6).

Internal Carbon Pricing & Carbon Trading Platform

Management Approaches

  • Daily: AI Carbon Reduction Management Platform real-time data, warnings for achievement situation; Monthly: Reports on executives' management meetings; Annually: Tied with performance bonus.

  • In 2021, based on the SBT commitment, the "Alternative Raw (Fuel) Material Indicator Assessment Method" was established, and each plant set carbon reduction assessment indicators according to the actual situation.

  • In response to the official implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and Taiwan's carbon fee collection starting in 2026, TCC introduced an internal carbon pricing (ICP) system within the Cement and Environmental Protection Business. Through cost-benefit analyses, the system proactively reflects the potential impacts of carbon costs on operations, investments, and financial performance, integrating carbon costs and reduction benefits into capital expenditure evaluations, process improvements, and operational decisions.

  • Internal Carbon Trading: Modeled after carbon trading markets, TCC launched an internal carbon trading platform in 2024 to trial emission allowance allocations and reduction metrics across cement plants in Taiwan and Mainland China. These results guide internal performance management and track carbon reduction progress, fostering carbon awareness and mitigation incentives at each site.

  • In February 2026, TCC established the Global Carbon Trading Office to centralize the Group's carbon asset management and trading strategies, optimizing global asset allocation and accelerating the low-carbon transition.
