Environmental Management
The Company and TPI Polene Public Company Limited, or the TPI Polene Group, recognize the importance of resource utilization in the context of global population growth. Resources are limited, and inefficient usage can lead to various problems, such as waste generation from consumption and shortages in production, particularly of non-consumable resources. Additionally, reliance on fossil fuels for energy significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change issues. These challenges are critical on a global scale, impacting economic, social, and environmental dimensions both now and in the future, and they are significant and unavoidable.
"We are leveraging the natural resources of our children and grandchildren.” This statement reflects the necessity to raise awareness of this issue and the pursuit of addressing concrete challenges. TPI Polene Group has committed to actively participating in their resolution for our world under the principles of the Circular Economy. This commitment begins with research and development planning, the production process, and products destined for consumers. The aim is to instill circularity in the utilization of natural resources, employ renewable fuels, manage the enhancement of leftover products from production processes, and implement effective waste management for reuse. Through these efforts, the Company strives to maximize the utilization of resources and promote sustainability within its supply chain, in collaboration with the business sector, society, and the community.
Management Guidelines
TPI Polene Group aims for sustainability to create a balance in terms of the economy, environment, and society under good corporate governance (ESG), by integrating all three aspects of operations, including Circular Economy, Green Economy, and Bio-Economy, collectively referred to as the Bio-Circular-Green Economy (BCG), to be implemented at every step of the value chain. The Company intends to utilize waste fuel to replace coal in cement and electricity production processes, aiming to conduct electricity production business by 100% transitioning from coal sources to renewable and clean energy sources, focusing on a clean and green industrial business that generates no greenhouse gas emissions and is environmentally friendly.
TPI Polene Group Conducting Business Based on BCG and ESG Guidelines
TPI Polene Group has prioritized sustainability policies and business operations based on BCG and ESG guidelines, including a carbon neutrality campaign, saving the world campaign, and a ZERO WASTE campaign throughout the Group's production processes. The use of hydraulic cement instead of Portland cement is actively encouraged and supported due to its lower proportion of clinker, resulting in reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, when hydraulic cement is utilized as a raw material for constructing green buildings according to LEED and TREES standards, it contributes to a decrease in greenhouse gases and mitigates global warming. Additionally, starting from 1 June 2023, TPI Polene Group has implemented a policy to manufacture products aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This involves increasing the production of Green Products such as Green Clinker, Green Cement, Green Fiber Cement, and Green Concrete Roof Tiles (Green CRT). These products utilize alternative raw materials, alternative fuels, and electricity sourced from renewable energy, thereby further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
TPI Polene Group has been involved in every stage, from research and development to resource procurement, encompassing raw materials for production and energy. The Company efficiently utilizes resources, maximizes recycling efforts, and maintains high production efficiency. Through effective resource utilization and environmental preservation, it produces environmentally friendly green products. Consumers of these products are viewed as contributors to building a greener world, extending to sales, transportation, and service.
