Water Management

TCC has established Water Management Commitment, committed to pursuing sustainable water resource utilization, enhancing water resource management, and improving water efficiency. Pledged to reduce water withdrawal and consumption, comply with relevant regulatory standards, rigorously monitor the quality of discharged water to prevent harm to ecosystems, water bodies, and human health due to wastewater, and ensure that employees and local residents have access to clean water

Management Approaches

  • 100% Cement Plants in Taiwan & Mainland China and RMC Plants obtain ISO14046 Certification

  • 100% Cement Plants in Taiwan and RMC Plants obtain ISO46001 Certification

  • Since 2022, the cement plant has implemented a water footprint management platform to monitor water supply, water usage, water recycling, and discharge, thereby enhancing water management efforts

  • Using the WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, TCC assessed all locations in Taiwan and Mainland China

  • Starting in 2025, an internal water pricing system was implemented across cement plants, RMC plants, and grinding stations of the Cement and Environmental Protection Business (Asia) to incentivize water-saving improvements

Performance

  • The world's first cement industry to obtain ISO 14046 and ISO 46001 Certification

  • Hoping Plant & Suao Plant both obtained the AWS (Alliance for Water Stewardship) international water management Platinum Certification

  • 100% process wastewater recycled and reused with zero discharge in RMC Plants

  • The cement plant has implemented multiple water pollution prevention measures to ensure that wastewater is discharged only after meeting effluent standards
