Asia Cement started to drive science-based target for carbon reduction since 2020. In March of 2021, the Company passed a strict international verification in accordance with Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and became the fourth cement company globally in completing the setting of carbon reduction target and responding to the control of global climate temperature below 2℃ (well-below). The ways of reaching the target of carbon reduction include aggressively promoting circular economy, reducing the use of natural minerals and fuel, adjusting the ratio of mixing limestone and reducing the use of clinkers which causes high carbon emission.

Asia Cement continued to respond to CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) questionnaires and was rated A- for 2022 Climate Change (Leadership). For the 2022 Water Security program, Asia Cement was rated B(Management), with the Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) being B-(Management).

Asia Cement disclosed the critical items considered by a specific industry including climate change strategy, indicators, and targets, based on the Guide for Building Material Sector issued by TCFD for specific industries.

To achieve the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions, Asia Cement has set a phase-change internal carbon pricing of NT$216 from 2021 to 2025.

As a member of Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), a global initiative organization, along with all member companies, Asia Cement committed itself to “2050 Climate Vision” in September, 2020, and expected to reach the target of GHG net-zero emission from cement and concrete.
