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.

Energy

Waste

Water resources

Prioritize major operation sites per materiality, and set energy conservation, waste reduction, and water conservation targets per production types

Energy

Cement Plants (Taiwan & Mainland China): Join EP100, aiming to increase energy productivity by 50% by 2040 (2016 baseline).
Operational Headquarters: Achieve a 1% annual electricity saving.

Waste

Cement & RMC Plants (Taiwan & Mainland China): Achieve a 0.5% annual reduction in household waste.

Water Resources

Targets set for water withdrawal intensity, water consumption intensity, and total water withdrawal on cement plants

Environmental Management Target
Item and Scope		2025	2030	2050
Waste	Cement Plants & RMC Plants in Taiwan & Mainland China Base: General Waste	-0.5%/year
Water Resources	Water Withdrawal Intensity of Cement Plants in Taiwan & Mainland China (Unit：million liters/metric ton of cementitious materials)	Reduce to 0.000248 by 2030、Water-Stressed Areas: -1.2%/year
	Taiwan RMC Plants Freshwater Withdrawal Intensity for Concrete Base year: 2023 (Unit：liter/cubic meter)	-0.5%	-1.5%	-3.5%
	CIMPOR Water Withdrawal Intensity (Unit：million liters/metric ton of cement)	-	Reduce to 0.0002	-

ISO System Certification Training：Assist employees in understanding regulatory requirements and applying them in practice.
TCC Carbon Academy：Deepen professional knowledge and align with international standards.
TCC Lyceum：Deepen sustainability awareness and integrate it into daily work.
New Employee Training：Enhance new employees’ understanding of the company’s sustainability development.
Town Hall Meeting：Chaired by the Chairman, to communicate the company's sustainability strategy directly to employees.

Communicate TCC’s environmental protection policies and related requirements to all internal and external stakeholders — including employees, customers, affiliates, suppliers, and investors — through multiple channels：

Energy & GHG	Implement energy-saving actions：Implement energy-saving projects at the plants, including air compressor system retrofit, motor replacement, etc. Use clean or renewable energy：All operation sites actively install self-generated renewable energy systems for on-site consumption and introduce integrated photovoltaic and energy storage systems to improve energy use efficiency. Invest in innovation and R&D to reduce energy consumption：Optimize waste heat power generation technology and its efficiency.
Waste	Implement waste reduction actions：100% conversion of general and industrial waste into renewable energy and resources on cement plants, with 100% zero waste to landfill at TCC plants. E One Moli Corporation is currently seeking UL 2799 verification. Implement recycling programs：Recycling of domestic waste implemented at all operation sites, with valuable metals generated from equipment replacement commissioned to qualified external vendors for treatment and reuse. Invest in innovative technologies：Food waste recycling technologies invested by the Guangdong Yingde Plant and the Hualien Hoping Plant.
Water Resources	Execute water-saving programs：Water conservation projects executed on plants, including effluent reclamation from power generation by waste heat recovery and reuse of rainwater runoff from the mine. Promote water recycling and reuse：At TCC's RMC plants, all process water—from mixing, floor cleaning, and belt washing—is treated through sedimentation and separation for reuse in production and equipment cleaning. Implement water recycling technology：Active installation of rainwater harvesting systems, installation of MBR system at the Hoping Plant for domestic sewage recycling, and 100% zero wastewater discharge and recycling implemented at RMC plants.
