Taiwan CTCI Joins Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emissions in Support for Global Sustainability
Today CTCI announced that it has joined Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emissions (TANZE) and shares joint commitment with 27 companies from Taiwan and abroad to achieve net zero carbon emissions at corporate offices by 2030 and additionally at all work sites by 2050. The event was attended and supported by representatives from academia, industry, and the government. Vice President William Lai also attended the event.
John T. Yu, CTCI Group Chairman, who took part in the opening ceremony, says, “CTCI has long been committed to global sustainability with its core competencies. We have carried out greenhouse gases (GHG) inventory for Group headquarters and global work sites, set GHG reduction and energy-saving targets, continued to innovate our engineering services to include green applications, as well as supported circular economy.”
“We are involved in development, investment, construction, and operation projects such as water reuse, solar power, offshore wind power, combined-cycle power plants, and waste treatment. In 2020, green and low-carbon projects accounted for 109 billion TWD, or 84% of new contracts. Low-carbon backlogs increased 410% during the period 2015-2010. We received A- and are positioned as leader according to CDP, a global corporate social responsibility evaluator. Not to mention we have won other sustainability-related awards both at home and abroad,” Yu added.
TANZE is founded by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy, a non-profit organization with a sustainability mission. TANZE aims to become a tripartite policy platform, promoting dialogue between companies, NGOs, and the government with a common mission to reach net zero emissions target by 2050.
With a vision to become “the most reliable global engineering services provider,” CTCI will continue to exert greater influence on its partners and suppliers to make engineering more sustainable, offering clients green, high-quality, and environmentally friendly services.
