CTCI, a Guardian of Sustainable Earth, Spearheads Green Offices Campaign

Taipei, February 10, 2023 –On the invitation of Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), CTCI’s Group Shared Services CEO Ting-Chuang Li attended the “Press Conference and Forum on Green Offices” held by the EPA. During the event, CEO Li shared CTCI’s approaches to fulfilling the 2050 net-zero targets through “ESG engagement of all staff” and seeing itself as “a guardian of sustainable Earth.”

The “Green Offices” program is part of the government’s crucial strategies in transforming the nation to net zero by 2050. CTCI is among the first role-model companies invited by the EPA to talk about the ways offices can become greener and call upon the industry to join the green offices campaign.

CEO Li noted that CTCI has taken a multi-approach to cut carbon emissions. To make CTCI’s offices greener, CTCI makes an effort to save energy and cut resources utilization at source, reduce the amount of plastic materials used, reduce the amount of waste, and make green procurement. CTCI’s headquarters building has therefore saw 7.5% reduction of power consumption in 2022 against the previous year, which is equivalent to cutting down 155 tons of CO₂e emissions. 

With regard to making engineering services greener, CTCI laid out three approaches: “green technology,” “green contracting,” and “green investment.” Based on these principles, CTCI strives to carry out projects that are beneficial both economically and environmentally in any part of the world. By working with its partners and suppliers in the provision of “net zero EPC valued services,” CTCI continues to help clients reach their energy-saving and emissions reduction targets. Between 2019 and 2021, the amount of carbon emissions that has been cut down across plant construction’s full life cycle on the client side reached 11,700,000 tons, thanks to CTCI’s energy saving design. Total power savings reached 840,000,000 kWh, which is equivalent to the annual power consumption of 209,000 households. Total water savings reached 232,070,000 tons, which is equivalent to the water consumption of the entire Taipei City for 261 days. Total reduction of volatile organic compound reached 24,933 tons.
