Environmental Management
Management Approach
- 100% Cement Plants in Taiwan and Mainland China, RMC Plants, operation headquarters have obtained ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 Certification
- TCC is committed to reducing the environmental impact caused by its product manufacturing processes. TCC has established an Environmental Protection Policy,which has been approved by the Board of Directors and signed by the Chairman. For all TCC Group Holdings' operational sites and production plants, environmental impact assessments have been conducted, and environmental performance has been improved. The management scope covers energy, water, and waste, etc. It also requires suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, joint ventures, and other business partners to effectively manage environmental impacts during the production, manufacturing, transportation, distribution and logistics, and service processes.
- In Taiwan, compliance with CNS 61 regulations is required, and the proportion of cementitious additives must be kept below 10%.
- Review of all management policies and pertinent legal records throughout the due diligence phase of mergers and acquisitions to ensure strict adherence to environmental laws and regulations, preventing any violations
Environment Management Process
Introduce international management systems — ISO 50001, ISO 46001, ISO 14001, ISO 14046, and ISO 14064 — to identify opportunities for improving the use of critical energy and resources, thereby achieving enhanced energy efficiency, improved water efficiency, waste reduction, reduction of air pollutants (SOx, NOx, TSP, and mercury), and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
