Taiwan Pioneer in Taiwan’s Engineering Industry, CTCI Organizes First Sustainability Engineering Symposium　
　

TAIPEI, December 17, 2021— CTCI, the largest global engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) group in Taiwan and one of the top 100 engineering firms globally, co-organizes the “2021 Taiwan Sustainability Engineering Symposium—Smart Engineering Technologies” with CTCI Education Foundation (CTCI EF) today at GIS MOTC Convention Center.

Participated by around 200 engineering experts, industry leaders, and CTCI engineers, the symposium allows engineering professionals to engage in a meaningful exchange of ideas and discussions on the topics of sustainable development and net zero emissions.

CTCI has been actively promoting sustainability engineering practices aligning with its core competencies, iEPC, smart plants, circular economy, and green engineering, with efforts in environmental (E), social (S), and corporate governance (G) dimensions. In response to the global sustainable development trend, CTCI initiates Taiwan’s first sustainable engineering symposium, aiming to drive the industry towards development in sustainability and net zero emissions.

The symposium focuses discussion on how engineering technologies could benefit to foster global sustainable development. CTCI also shares its sustainability efforts in iEPC, smart plants, circular economy, and green engineering, as well as on carbon neutrality.

CTCI Group Chairman stated that “Faced with the global low-carbon transitions, CTCI, as Taiwan’s engineering leader, is duty-bound to help realize Taiwan’s target of reaching net zero carbon emission by 2050. We hope that our sharing with years of development in iEPC (intelligent EPC) and green engineering practices may inspire the industry to work in partnership to realize this important mission.” Eugene Chien, CTCI EF Chairman, added “This symposium is dedicated to sustainable engineering, the first of its kind in Taiwan; the goal is to share CTCI’s expertise in sustainable engineering with other engineering professionals, so as to reach a consensus through discussions, and contribute to everlasting development of the industry as a whole.”

The symposium is composed of two half-day sessions. In the morning session, experts and senior managers at CTCI would give a series of lecturers. Presenters are arranged in the following order: Pen-Chi Chiang, Emeritus Professor at The Graduate Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Taiwan University; Ming-Li Lee, President at EPC Operations, CTCI Corporation; Young Ku, CEO of Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy; Henry Han, Head of CTCI Group Research & Innovation Center; and Lian-Jeng Leu, President, Taiwan Construction Research Institute. The afternoon session would be conducted in a world café fashion. Hosted by Shin-Cheng Yeh, Professor at Graduate Institute of Environmental Education, National Taiwan Normal University, participants are encouraged to discuss on the given topics and exchange opinions.

CTCI has been promoting green engineering practices via “green technologies,” “green and low-carbon projects contracting,” and “green investment” and its ESG efforts are widely recognized globally. It has been selected as constituent of DJSI Emerging Markets Indices for 7 consecutive years, continuously honored with Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards’ Top Ten Domestic Corporate Award, and has received accolades such as grade A for Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) ESG Rating, B score (Management level) from Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and CommonWealth Magazine’s Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility Award. CTCI also joined Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emission to support global carbon reduction action, committed to achieving net zero emission target for its office areas in 2030 and to include all project sites in 2050. It is also promoting “Net Zero EPC Projects” by joining hands with supply chain partners worldwide.

Committed to realizing its brand spirit as the most reliable global engineering services provider, CTCI will continue to make positive impact in the ESG aspects, fulfilling its vision of “becoming a guardian of the Earth by employing innovative green engineering technologies,” and facilitating the goal of net zero EPC projects.
