Environment and Sustainable Resources Management
Environment and Sustainable Policy
With the vision of the Company focusing on operational excellence with the highest standards of good corporate citizenship, the Company has set out the Sustainability Policy, Climate Change Policy, and Environmental Policy.
The strategy, management guidelines, operational guidelines, and implementation plan towards conducting the environmentally friendly business are focused on green process, by using EAF or Electronic Arc Furnace for the steel production which is the steel melt process from 100% recycled scrap. This is the best steel recycling technology at present in terms of product quality, consistency, and environment. The Company also focuses on using technology that generates lower pollution and using renewable energy or alternative energy for Greenhouse Gas reduction, in the areas of resources management, water management, climate change control of carbon dioxide emission, etc.
The Company continues to strive towards certification of Carbon Footprint for Products and other environmentally friendly product standards in response to possible trade measures in the future.
The Company is aware of the impact from the Company’s decision and its operation on resources consumption (such as the use of electric power, natural gas, scrap and water), plant location, pollution, and waste, including an effect to the natural habitat of plants and creatures. Moreover, the Company has managed wastewater treatment and recycling of water to use in the operation process and for other usages.
Air Pollution Management
The Company has analyzed the factors causing pollutants resulting from the production process and other supporting activities to find the root causes and minimize the pollutants. Accordingly, air pollution treatment is done before releasing clean air to the atmosphere. At the same time new research and technology are being monitored and implemented to manage air pollution such as dust, NOx, SOx, CO, etc.
The Company has installed Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) for 3 Plants and connect with Pollution Online Monitoring System (POMS) to Department of Industrial Works (DIW) to monitor Dust, NOx, SOx, CO, etc.
The Company encourages all employees to recognize the importance of energy saving by emphasizing their participation, in line with their functions, for instance, saving electricity in office buildings. Knowledge is given and PR media is communicated regularly to raise awareness and conscience on the subject.
Dust Management
Activities that cause dust in the manufacturing process are from raw materials handling, transportation, combustion, and storage. The Company applies various technologies for treatment depending on the type of dust and its properties in relation to activities as follows:
• Dust from combustion in the production process:
Elevated temperature and low humidity dust from furnace in production process is sent to Fume Plant to start the filtration process. The dust is captured by a Cyclone device to reduce its temperature and filter the large dust. The micro dust is passed through Filter Bag. Dust diffusion in Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) is reduced to be below regulatory standard and then recycled to be used as raw materials.
