Practicing circular economy principles and increasing resource efficiency are important actions for achieving Net Zero Emissions. In the “Outlook” column, CEO Jun-Jer Liao of the Group Resource Cycling Business discusses how “Every Resource Counts” in the article Shaping Global Sustainability Through Innovation in Resource Efficiency. With four main business pillars—waste management, recovery, renewable energy, and mechanical & electrical maintenance—CTCI fulfills its ESG vision of being “a Guardian of Sustainable Earth” and continues to pioneer the resource circulation market.

Responding to the water shortage exacerbated by climate change, companies are combating extreme climate conditions with reclaimed water as a new resource. In the “Discover Reliable” column, let’s take a look at how CTCI operates the TSMC Southern Taiwan Science Park Water Reclamation Plant under the design, build, own, and operate (DBOO) model, building the world’s first successful reclaimed water plant that recycles industrial wastewater for reuse in semiconductor manufacturing processes, setting a significant milestone for global water resource recycling. In the “Technology” column, we explore how CTCI develops Robotic Process Automation (RPA) techniques to optimize everyday tasks and improve project execution. As for “Sustainable Future,” we examine the Group's contributions to reducing carbon emissions through smart technology. By implementing and introducing advanced control systems, this helps plants and factories achieve their goals of increasing production while reducing carbon emissions.

For the CTCI Family column, we have invited Suryanto Yohanes, an engineer in the Civil & Building Engineering Department, to share his journey of becoming the 'Most Reliable' engineer by joining CTCI. Originally from Indonesia, Yohanes shares how he has participated in traditional Taiwanese holidays and visited night markets in his free time, along with anecdotes from his participation in the Group’s Sports Day. His amazing stories, along with lively photos, make for a great read you won't want to miss!
