Environmental Management
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
Environmental Management Process
By implementing international management systems including ISO 50001, ISO 46001, ISO 14001, ISO 14046, ISO 14064, and ISO 14067, TCC identifies energy and resource improvement opportunities to comprehensively enhance energy and water efficiency, while driving reductions in waste, air emissions, and greenhouse gases.

Build employee capacity and awareness through targeted programs:
- Education and training：Offer ISO system certification training covering air emissions, water resources, waste, and energy management, and establish the Institute of Nextgen Sustainability to deepen professional knowledge and align with international standards.
- Awareness courses：Utilize platforms like the TCC Lyceum and New Employee Training to deepen sustainability awareness and integrate it into daily work.
- Leadership communication：Conduct Town Hall Meetings, chaired by the Chairman, to communicate the company's sustainability strategy directly to employees.
Communicate environmental policies, requirements, and progress to all internal and external stakeholders. This is achieved through multiple channels, such as:
- Sustainability Newsletter
- Supplier Conference
- Product Promotion Events and Conferences
Environmental Education and Training
Production plants and global operational sites regularly provide sustainability education and training covering energy efficiency, waste reduction, and water management. These programs continuously deepen environmental awareness and technical skills across the workforce, enabling energy and waste reductions at the source of daily operations while proactively seeking opportunities for circular economy practices and water conservation optimization. The achievements in 2025 are as follows:
- Energy Efficiency and Energy-Saving Awareness: The curriculum covers ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems, unit product energy consumption benchmark standards, energy efficiency optimization, and practical energy-saving practices. Total training delivered reached approximately 2,817 person-hours, with 3,540 participants (covering senior executives, dedicated ISO personnel, general employees, and subcontractors).
- Waste Reduction and Resource Circularity: The curriculum encompasses hazardous and non-hazardous waste management compliance, waste identification and recycling/reuse, plastic reduction awareness, and practical cement kiln co-processing standards. Total training delivered reached approximately 831 person-hours, with 3,521 participants (covering employees and subcontractors).
- Water Efficiency and Water Conservation Management: The curriculum includes ISO 46001 Water Efficiency Management System internal auditing, wastewater pollution control measures, process water recycling/reuse, and water-saving promotion. Total training delivered reached approximately 361 person-hours, with 3,405 participants (covering ISO seed auditors, dedicated EHS personnel, general employees, and subcontractors).
