Over the years, we have been constantly seeking “economic, environmental, and social” successes. While ensuring an adequate supply of oil and gas in Taiwan, driving the development of industries in relation to petrochemistry, and contributing the best to the public and public finance, we uphold our aim of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and spare no effort to engage in energy conservation and emissions reduction, environmental protection, and green energy development, in order to achieve sustainable development.
To keep pace with the global green energy trends and in response to the government’s energy policy, we have engaged in green energy development and deployment in recent years. In addition to investing in the research and development of biorefineries, hydrogen energy, and fuel cells, we have erected a PV system in some complexes, gas stations, and oil supply centers; promoted the transformation traditional gas stations into smart green energy filling stations; and plan to build 1,000 charging points within three years. In addition, we have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Taiwan Power Company (TPC) on the “Renze-Tuchang Geothermal Site Survey and Geothermal Generation Development Project” in Yilan County to mark the onset of geothermal survey and geothermal generation in Taiwan and open a new chapter in renewable energy development and the energy sustainability of CPC Corporation, Taiwan.
To achieve environmental sustainability, we conserve and improve energy, reduce GHGs, and have built an environmental audit system. While promoting economic development, we spare no effort to practice energy conservation, emissions reduction, and environmental protection with equal emphasis. We have further established internal management systems to govern energy and resources utilization, waste management, GHG reduction, and pollution prevention, and we review them regularly. Furthermore, we promote energy linkage with nearby enterprises to raise energy utilization efficiency, reduce resources consumption, and lower regional pollutant emissions to effectively mitigate environmental impacts, improve environmental quality, and co-prosper with local communities.
To mitigate climate change impacts, we proactively plan climate change adaptation to enhance self-resilience. Apart from enrolling in the “Climate Change Adaptation Strategies and Guidance Program for the Energy Sector” of the Bureau of Energy, we signed up to the climate change questionnaire project of the international Carbon Disclosure Program (CDP) in 2015. In addition, we inventory and address climate risks and opportunities in terms of the transformation risk (policy, regulations, and market) and the physical risk (immediate and long-term) with respect to the questionnaire contents. In 2018, we received a B grade for our management based on the questionnaire results. In addition to connecting with the world, the promotion demonstrates the effectiveness of our efforts.
To provide a friendly and safe work environment for employees, apart from constantly implementing various occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems, we ensure workplace safety for employees through employee training, disaster prevention drills, and audits. In addition, with respect for human rights and gender equality as the cornerstone, we offer sound remuneration and benefits and maintain unimpeded labor-management communication to build a friendly workplace. Furthermore, we provide employees with opportunities for career development through professional training, job rotation, promotion, and second specialty training.
To practice “taking from society, paying back to society”, we are committed to promoting energy conservation, emissions reduction, and environmental and ecological protection. We also help local development, care for vulnerable groups, finance baseball teams in remote areas, support national athletes, and promote top-tier sports development. Furthermore, we maintain sound interaction with local groups and communities and organize various charitable events. With such, we aim to create social harmony in terms of “community welfare”, “care for vulnerable groups”, “charity activities”, and “energy education and publicization”.
To achieve sustainable management, we promote topics in relation to sustainable management through the “Sustainable Management Committee” with respect to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, through channels such as social media, the sustainable report, and the corporate website, we disclose information in relation to sustainable development to strengthen effective communication with stakeholders. In 2018, we were awarded the Corporate Sustainability Report Award TOP50-Plantimum Award and the Climate Leader Award in the Best Performance in Specific Categories at the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards organized by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. In addition, we were awarded the Excellence of Sustainability by the British Standards Institution (BSI). All these are external recognition of our efforts and achievements.
Apart from establishing the Sustainable Management Committee in 2005, we divided sustainable management into four domains: “Environmental and Ecological Conservation”, “Social Care”, “Policy and R&D” and “Environmental Accounting and Information”. The Committee is chaired by the Chairman, with the president as the Vice Committee Chairperson, the VP. of Planning as the executive Secretary, and other VPs and the CEOs of the five business divisions as Committee Members. In 2008, we began to hire scholars and experts as Committee Members. The Committee held three meetings in 2018. Apart from making related proposals, it reports to the Board on a regular basis. The last report to Board was presented by the president at the 683rd Board Meeting.
