Asia Cement Corporation's systematic carbon reduction achievements have once again been recognized with the "Silver Level" net zero mark

        Asia Cement Corporation has been promoting low-carbon processes and recycled economy for a long time, and its carbon reduction achievements have been recognized again. It has been awarded the "Silver" certification by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy for the 2025 Net Zero Label, demonstrating its steady progress in net zero governance and carbon reduction actions. The "Net Zero Label" is one of the few low-carbon initiative labels approved and registered by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, with high credibility. The evaluation focuses on the greenhouse gas inventory system, the implementation of carbon reduction actions, and the completeness of enterprise net zero path planning. Obtaining a silver level badge represents the company's clear net zero progress in office, production, and service areas, and demonstrates specific and verifiable carbon reduction achievements.

        Senior Vice President and spokesperson of Asia Cement Corporation Secretariat Department, Wang Zhaoyu, stated that the company's carbon reduction strategy is not a single technology or short-term action, but a systematic transformation across corporate governance, processes, energy, products, and transportation. To ensure that the net zero commitment can be effectively internalized in operational decisions, Asia Cement Corporation has incorporated climate change issues into its risk management and board supervision structure, and regularly discloses its carbon reduction results and net zero roadmap in ESG reports. At the same time, external evaluations and third-party mechanisms are used to review the effectiveness of implementation, ensuring the continuous implementation and steady progress of carbon reduction commitments. The relevant carbon reduction performance has also passed the SBTi 1.5 ° C scientific basis reduction target review, and has achieved the standard year after year. It has also been recognized for the 11th time by the Ministry of Economic Affairs as an "Outstanding Enterprise in Industrial Greenhouse Gas Reduction".

        In terms of specific results, Asia Cement Corporation's net zero layout has expanded from the production and manufacturing end to the entire company's operational and service sites. Through various measures such as energy-saving measures, recycled economy, and the use of energy-saving vehicle scheduling, the carbon emission reduction effect continues to lead the way. Using 2022 as the base year, carbon emissions have decreased by 40.7% in 2023 and further reduced to 42% in 2024, with the potential to achieve the original goal of net zero by 2030, becoming an important key factor in being awarded the Silver Medal again.

        In addition, Asia Cement Corporation is the first cement company in Taiwan to complete full product carbon footprint verification and continues to set the lowest carbon record in the low-carbon cement field; In addition, we have partnered with our subsidiary Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation to promote integrated low-carbon building materials solutions, assisting buildings in effectively reducing carbon emissions during the construction phase, and implementing carbon reduction actions in daily operations and market applications.

        The Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy pointed out that Asia Cement Corporation is one of the founding members of the "Net Zero Action Alliance" and has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. At the same time, the company has obtained the net zero mark for four consecutive years and received silver certification twice, demonstrating a sound carbon management mechanism. In the future, we will continue to promote the net zero goal through scientific methods, reduce carbon emissions for industries, create long-term value, and achieve social sustainability.
