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 

Key Initiatives

Reducing Our CO2 Footprint in all markets

  • We continue to innovate the development of high performance and environmentally friendly products with lowered CO2 intensity

  • Hydraulic cement is a low clinker intensity and more eco-friendly product, manufactured with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

  • INSEE Petch Plus (Thailand) is example of low-CO2 cement brands being well appreciated by our customers.

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system

  • We continue to innovate the development of high performance and environmentally friendly products with lowered CO2 intensity

  • Hydraulic cement is a low clinker intensity and more eco-friendly product, manufactured with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

  • INSEE Petch Plus (Thailand) is example of low-CO2 cement brands being well appreciated by our customers.

Circular Economy

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

  • Double use of waste derived fuels to >1.0 mio tons)

  • Increase (> +65%) use of byproducts (fly ash, slag etc.) to >1.4 mio tons per annum

Key Initiatives

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)

Key Initiatives
