Biodiversity Management Plan

Asia Cement’s Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) covers ecological baseline surveys, target setting, action plans, monitoring and implementation budgets. In 2025, it covered the Xinchengshan Mine, Hualien Plant and Asia Cement Ecological Park, representing 100% of the operational sites with biodiversity impacts.

• Ecological surveys: Asia Cement has conducted regular surveys in the mine’s restoration areas since 2021. Ten surveys were completed in 2025, recording 38 bird species, 98 butterfly species, six amphibian species and nine mammal species. Species composition and populations have remained stable over the past three years.
• Action and implementation plan: Biodiversity management covers sustainable mining, near-natural afforestation, habitat restoration, enclosed ore transportation and long-term mine planning. Ecological restoration is integrated into mining and operational management.

• Mining and vegetation restoration: In 2025, Asia Cement planted 2,532 native trees. Cumulative revegetated area reached 74.3 hectares, with a greening ratio of 81.4%.

• Low-vibration blasting: Asia Cement uses vibration modelling, real-time monitoring and adjustments to blasting parameters to reduce blasting impacts. Its self-imposed warning threshold is 0.15 cm/sec. In 2025, the annual average monitored vibration velocity was 0.05 cm/sec, and all measured values remained below the threshold.
