Two years ahead of schedule, Green Asia Cement Corporation has achieved carbon reduction "silver"

        On October 29th, Asia Cement Corporation was awarded the "Net Zero Label" certification by the Taiwan Net Zero Action Alliance for the third time, and has risen from "Green Level" to "Silver Level", becoming an indicator enterprise in the low-carbon development field. Asia Cement Corporation's subsidiary Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation has also upgraded and obtained the "Copper Label" certification, demonstrating Asia Cement Corporation's commitment to net zero carbon emissions and renewable energy.

        Asia Cement Corporation's net zero action spans the entire company, from its Taipei office to its branches in Hualien, Kaohsiung, and Taichung City, all fully committed to carbon reduction efforts in response to its 2030 net zero commitment for offices and business locations. According to statistics, the carbon emissions of Asia Cement Corporation's headquarters and three service centers in 2023 not only decreased significantly by 40.7% compared to the benchmark year of 2022, but also reached the expected target two years ahead of schedule.

        Asia Cement Corporation is committed to becoming a global leader in green building materials, constantly innovating low-carbon technologies. The Hualien factory has pioneered the "5C+1C net zero path" strategy, successfully reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, it actively develops the "Carbon Capture and Reuse (CCUS)" technology, using waste as carbon absorbing materials to recover the carbon dioxide generated in the process, promote carbon cycling, and assist the building materials industry in moving towards sustainable development. In terms of recycled economy, since its implementation, the Hualien plant has cumulatively used 1.75 million tons of alternative raw materials and 135000 tons of alternative fuels, effectively reducing natural resource consumption.

        Asia Cement Corporation's subsidiary Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation also performed well, reducing carbon emissions by 10% in offices and factories through energy-saving measures, adjusting transportation vehicle scheduling, and purchasing international carbon credits, setting an example for other enterprises.

        The net zero certification upgrade of Asia Cement Corporation and Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation is a concrete witness to the practice of low-carbon innovation. In the future, Asia Cement Corporation will continue to prioritize sustainability, promote the green revolution in the building materials industry, and create a cleaner and better environment for the next generation.
