Together by following our North Star, we have found that new Path.
Layout for total circular economy, deepening the paper-based Net-Zero solutions
Since the production of our first sheet of paper, CLC has adhered to the credo of "cherishing resource and promoting circulation and recycling". Through one sheet of paper, we aim to engage our positive influence. Since 2019, by implementing the S.M.A.R.T. Low Carbon Strategies, we have promoted smart production and sales, scaled up 3R PLUS total resource circular economy, to actively establish domestic and overseas manufacturing locations, and focus on the natural solution of "paper", resulting in developing a variety of green products to society decarbonization. In 2023, with the launch of major projects domestically and abroad, including the Chupei Mill the largest and most efficient biomass CFB boiler system, the Tayuan Mill's recovered bleached pulp line, and the first paper container plant in northern Vietnam, the Bac Giang Box Plant, we continue moving towards the new low-carbon & green energy paper benchmark in Asia.
Engaging with industry chain to carbon abatement to accelerate transformation
Facing the global trend of low-carbon supply chains, as the industry leader, we have shown our influence by sharing our experience in low-carbon transformation and teaming up the "CLC 1+N Carbon Neutrality Alliance". The alliance aims to build a domestic carbon database and implement a CLC low-carbon industrial ecosystem. Meanwhile, through leading initiatives in smart production and sales, we continue to strengthen our advantages in green energy and smart paper manufacturing, to transform ourselves from a traditional factory into eco-friendly & smarter manufacturer. Moreover, by investing in biogas and biomass green power generation, we aim to pave the way to a carbon-neutrality which is more applicable for the domestic environment. In addition, by introducing the Eco Anti-grass Paperboard (receive organic certification from the Agriculture and Food Agency) and the household paper packing with a special waterproof coating (awarded the new national patent), we make efforts to provide a diversified "Paper" Nature-based Solutions in response to the global trend of achieving Net-Zero transformation by 2050.
Localization of key talents globally, supporting TNFD toward the Natural Positive Growth
Following the S.M.A.R.T. innovation in operations and manufacturing, CLC has formulated the 10-Year Talents Empowerment Plan, dedicated to constructing a diverse, equal, inclusive and happy workplace. Internally, we set the goal to facility 48 training hours per employee, 300 internal mentors, and young management teams by 2030, to systematically implement ESG competency education. In responds to rapid overseas expansion, we emphasize more on the localization of key talents, aiming to build the capability for sustainable and rapid transformation. Externally, we continue to foster alliances with partners to promote Secondary Forest project, awakening social awareness of sustainability. Valuing Nature Positive, CLC is a pioneer to become an Early Adopter of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and will collaborate with various stakeholders to promote biodiversity investigation, conservation, and sustainable utilization.
Deepening corporate sustainable development and resilient management, CLC has elevated the oversight level of the Corporate Sustainability Committee and the Risk Management Committee to the board of directors, to continually outline and promote CLC's sustainable transformation and operational resilience. Looking ahead to 2024, a critical year as Taiwan formally entering the "Carbon Pricing Era", we will continue to focus on innovation in production and sales, as well as digital transformation, through diverse channels to practice zero waste and green energy governance. Turning the climate risks into business transformation opportunities, we are committed to collaborating with various stakeholders to lead the way, open up new prospects, and move towards a new era in business model.
