Sustainability Promotion Strategy

Strengthen resource management, decrease environmental impact, and pursue circular economy

1
Strengthen energy and resource management and decrease operational impacts on the environment to help develop circular economy.
2
Energy Management for Energy Saving, Carbon Reduction, and Pollution Prevention.
Goals 2023 KPI 2023 Results Implementation Plan for 2024
Indicator Objectives Results

Water Resource Management

Decrease water consumption by 10% in 2030 as compared to that in the 2023 benchmark year

Water consumption per unit product Water consumption per unit product 14m3/t

Taiwan: 17.57 m3/t

Overseas: 3.07 m3/t

Total: 13.76 m3/t

  1. Rationalization of water utilization with comprehensive solutions to water leakages.
  2. Control and counseling of the 3 important water-saving solutions proposed by plants to decrease water consumption by 20%.
  3. Ongoing optimization of wastewater and reclaimed water recycling.

Promote water resources management

  1. Completed the water balance chart.
  2. Establish water consumption management indicators per unit product.
  3. Implement water conservation programs.
Water balance and availability (%) 100% Ongoing review of individual plants' water balance charts
Strengthen Reuse, Recyclability, and Resource Recovery Reuse of furnace dust (tonne/month) - Reuse rate 100%
  1. Reduced the cost of furnace ballast resource treatment and established a regenerative acid recycling economy.
  2. Established a channel for reduction and removal of ballast and conduct research on waste resource utilization.
  3. Conducted research on the reduction of ballast, low-temperature vapor pressure and CLSM (Controlled Low-Strength Material) in the steelmaking process.
  1. Establish the strategic reuse technology and business model of furnace ballast.
  2. Increase the amount of waste reused.
  3. Promote projects to reduce the waste landfill rate in each factory area.
Reuse of furnace slags (tonne/month) 3,000
(oxidized slags)
Reuse rate 100%
Waste recovery and reuse rate ≧ 95%

Taiwan: 97.98%

Overseas: 90.10%

Total: 95.61%

Regeneration and reuse of waste acids and reduction of sludge Sludge <48kg/t 46.4kg/t
  1. Applied for and obtained the classification of regenerated acid as a reuse product from the competent authorities.
  2. Obtained registration and sales qualifications for regenerated acid products.
  3. Established an ARP (Acid Recovery Plant) circular economy model.
Through the establishment of environmentally friendly technologies, we will increase resource reuse projects and establish relevant business models.
