Environmental Protection
Actively promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, waste management and resource recycling, and continuously reduce the impact of corporate operations on the environment.
Environmental Protection
Energy use mainly relies on purchased electricity, natural gas, steam, gasoline, diesel, and coal. To strengthen energy use management, we have organized an energy conservation leadership team to promote energy conservation measures to reduce consumption, minimize losses, and curb waste. We also work with local governments to formulate energy conservation indicators and targets in accordance with their energy and environmental protection policies, improve energy conservation, and enhance energy conversion efficiency to reduce the impact on the environment.
To effectively manage the environmental impact of wastewater discharge during operations, our company adheres to the Water Pollution Control Act and related regulations, establishing comprehensive wastewater treatment and monitoring mechanisms at each plant and continuously strengthening discharge quality management. Each plant adopts appropriate treatment methods based on its process characteristics, including installing wastewater treatment facilities, implementing chemical and biological treatment processes, or outsourcing treatment to qualified third-party treatment plants to ensure that wastewater discharge complies with relevant legal standards. In the future, we will continue to optimize wastewater treatment efficiency and management mechanisms to reduce the impact on environmental water bodies.
To implement environmental protection and sustainable resource utilization, our company continuously promotes waste management and reduction measures, and incorporates the concept of a circular economy into the operation and management of all our plants. Through the establishment of a comprehensive waste classification, collection, transportation, and treatment mechanism, combined with regulatory compliance and information-based reporting management, we ensure that waste flow is transparent and complies with relevant environmental regulations. At the same time, each plant actively promotes source reduction and resource recycling to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce waste generation and environmental impact.
Energy Management
Energy use mainly relies on purchased electricity, natural gas, steam, gasoline, diesel, and coal. To strengthen energy use management, we have organized an energy conservation leadership team to promote energy conservation measures to reduce consumption, minimize losses, and curb waste. We also work with local governments to formulate energy conservation indicators and targets in accordance with their energy and environmental protection policies, improve energy conservation, and enhance energy conversion efficiency to reduce the impact on the environment.
Each region continues to implement various energy management and measures in the hope of achieving energy conservation and emission reduction through relevant actions.
Greenhouse gas management
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions during operations, the Company has formulated a reduction strategy based on the results of its inventory and emissions structure, focusing on the main emission sources in Category I and Category II, and continuously promoting carbon reduction measures.
Our company's greenhouse gas emissions mainly come from purchased electricity (Category II) and fuel use (Category I). Therefore, our reduction strategy focuses on "reducing electricity use" and "optimizing fuel use" as the two main axes, supplemented by equipment improvement and management measures to reduce overall emission intensity.
Based on equipment characteristics and operational needs, each of our plants plans and implements reduction strategies to continuously optimize energy efficiency and equipment management. In addition to equipment replacement and energy management, we are also simultaneously promoting the introduction of renewable energy (such as solar photovoltaic installations), energy conservation education and training for employees, and the gradual replacement of high-energy-consuming transportation equipment to comprehensively reduce greenhouse gas emissions during operations.
Water management
In recent years, global rainfall patterns have changed, with increased frequency of torrential rains and prolonged droughts, leading to increased operational risks for businesses due to unstable water supply. For companies whose primary production mode is food processing, the importance of clean and hygienic water resources and a stable water supply is self-evident; therefore, water resource management plays a crucial role in sustainable operations.
In addition to continuously promoting water conservation and improving wastewater treatment, our company also regularly reviews water usage and uses the World Resources Institute (WRI) water risk map tool to assess the water risk indicators of each location, serving as the basis for formulating water use improvement plans and water conservation strategies. The assessment results show that the water risk indicators of all Royal Coca-Cola locations are at a low-to-medium (1-2) risk level, and they are not in water stress areas.
Due to changes in global rainfall patterns in recent years, the frequency of heavy rains and prolonged droughts has increased. Taiwan experiences significant seasonal and regional variations in rainfall, leading to potential policy-driven water restrictions, reduced water supply, or water outages in some areas due to drought. However, water supply is usually restored within 24 hours, minimizing the impact on the company's operations. To ensure uninterrupted production, the Zhongli plant is equipped with a water storage tank and water tower, capable of storing enough water for the plant area for 3 days or more. The Taoyuan plant has groundwater as an alternative water source. The Tainan plant has water storage tanks and stainless steel storage containers, capable of storing enough water for the plant area for approximately 4-6 hours under normal production conditions. In the event of reduced water supply or water outages, the Tainan plant will take measures such as partially shutting down production lines, postponing some cleaning operations, or dispatching external water trucks to replenish water, depending on the plant's water levels, to ensure overall operational continuity.
In terms of water resource recycling, the Zhongli plant improves overall water efficiency by recovering boiler steam condensate as boiler feedwater, diverting water used in the boiling section process back to the original system, and introducing new equipment into the cooling section process coil cooling system.
Waste Management
To implement environmental protection and sustainable resource utilization, our company continuously promotes waste management and reduction measures, and incorporates the concept of a circular economy into the operation and management of all our plants. By establishing a comprehensive waste classification, collection, transportation, and treatment mechanism, combined with regulatory compliance and information-based reporting management, we ensure that waste flow is transparent and complies with relevant environmental regulations. At the same time, each plant actively promotes source reduction and resource recycling to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce waste generation and environmental impact.
Waste management facilities and recycling operations
(1) Waste management facilities: Waste sorting stations are set up in the plant, and a special treatment, collection and temporary storage area is set up for organic sludge to ensure the accuracy of sorting.
(2) Recycling and reuse: Waste cardboard boxes and waste plastic barrels generated in the factory process are classified and disposed of, and the materials are put back into the recycling system through cooperation with qualified resource recyclers to reduce the consumption of original resources.
Waste reduction and recycling measures
Following the concept of "circular economy," the specific implementation guidelines are as follows:
(1) Classification and recycling: Strengthen waste classification and entrust qualified resource recyclers to recycle waste cardboard boxes and waste plastic buckets to achieve recycling.
(2) Supervision of outsourced treatment: All general industrial waste is reported through the "Industrial Waste Declaration and Management Information System" in accordance with government regulations to ensure that the flow of waste is legal and in compliance with environmental protection standards.
(3) Sludge treatment: The plant is equipped with wastewater treatment facilities, and the sludge generated is disposed of by outsourced in accordance with the law.
Data collection and monitoring process
Real-time weighbridge measurement: During waste collection, the waste is weighed using a weighbridge, and the collection manifest is obtained from the Environmental Protection Administration's reporting system to confirm the received weight.
Future goals
We continuously promote waste sorting to reduce waste and further reduce waste through recycling and reuse. Through management procedures such as source reduction, recycling, and reuse, we identify waste types and reduction opportunities to ensure that waste is properly recycled and disposed of, reducing the environmental impact and burden of waste, and thus achieving corporate social responsibility for a better environment.
