As the reality of climate change becomes increasingly apparent, we are all conscious that humanity is currently consuming resources at a rate beyond the level our planet can sustain in the long-term. Although cement and concrete are, to date, among the lowest carbon-intensive building materials per unit of strength and per unit of cost, the concrete industry must play its part in continuously reducing the carbon intensity of the built environment.

Therefore, maintaining the balance between productions and caring for the environment is our important mission statement. Toward that end of creating confidence in our management of the environment, Siam City Cement Public Company Limited has adopted the ISO14001: Environmental Management System as the organization’s guideline in the management of the environment.

Inspired by the promise of a more sustainable and prosperous future for all, SCCC Group has devised the Sustainability Ambition 2030, in which Thailand Cement Business has shared the same ambition. However, we develop our ambitious targets based on business operations in Thailand, in alignment with all business units across the Group, to ensure that as a Group, we can really make positive impacts to the environment.

 

Climate & Energy

Global warming is one of the most urgent challenges the world is facing. If left unaddressed, it will impact both our climate system and the security of the population in general.

Thailand Cement Business, in alignment with SCCC Group, acknowledges the importance of this problem as well as the need to reduce carbon emission by developing a climate and energy ambition with achievable targets and initiatives.

Targets

  • (Scope 1) Reduce CO2 emissions by a further 25% to < 470 kg net CO2/ton from our 2020 baseline. 

  • (Scope 2) Reduce electricity consumption by 50% 

  • (Scope 3) under study

INSEE is fully committed to using more alternative raw materials and fuels where possible. Discarded materials and industrial waste are exciting options for the development of more environmentally friendly products and solutions.

Targets

  • We have elevated our 2030 target for the use of waste derived fuels in our cement kilns to over 1.4 million tons, with a Group-wide Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) goal set now at 40 percent

  • An aggressive new target for the use of By-Products (Fly ash, Slag, Gypsum etc) has been set at over 1.7 million tons in our operations, with a revised Group-wide Clinker Factor (CF) target of 65 percent

Biodiversity and Water

Biodiversity is essential for ensuring minimal impacts of our quarrying and mining activities on the planetary ecosystem. As the planet is very scarce on clean, palatable, drinkable water, we must play our part in preserving as much water as possible, especially the water usage in manufacturing our products.

Targets

  • Assure net-positive impacts on biodiversity

  • Lower water consumption (by > -20%) with enhanced use of surface water (to > +40% of all water used)
