CSR Management

Operation Philosophy


CSC's new vision is "We aspire to be a sustainable growth enterprise that distinguishes itself through a firm commitment to smart innovation, green energy, carbon reduction, and value co-creation." With the four values "teamwork, entrepreneurial approach, down-to-earthiness and pursuit of innovation" as the foundation of its corporate culture, CSC actively implements its operation concept of "promotion of social well-being, result orientation, implementation of teamwork, and emphasis on employees' self-realization."

Promotion of social well-being:

We firmly believe in reciprocity, and will fulfill the role of a responsible corporate citizen. We aim at establishing the value of our existence as an asset to the society and the nation.


Result orientation:

Efficiency is stressed to upgrade operation results and attain CSC's corporate objectives.


Implementation of teamwork:

Cooperation, coordination, and teamwork are emphasized internally to reach CSC's corporate objectives. Externally, CSC cooperates with the downstream customers to promote mutual benefits and to help develop the domestic steel industry.


Emphasis on employees' self-realization:

CSC regards its employees as a valuable asset to the company, and assists them to develop intellectually to fulfill their potential. Creativity and aggressiveness are encouraged. CSC employees are loyal to the company because their professional dignity and deserved rights are valued.

In order to enhance its competitiveness and corporate sustainability over the long run, CSC pledged in January 2020 to become a leading-edge steel mill that provides premium products and services, and engage in the development of the green energy industry in the next 50 years. At the same time, CSC continues to deepen its foothold in the steel industry with new technologies and a new management mindset while holding fast to integrity and fairness, so as to move towards positioning CSC Group as “a group, which deems environmental protection and energy saving important, bases its headquarters in Taiwan, centers its development in Asia, and focuses on the business scope of steels and materials, engineering and services, as well as minerals and resources.”

In response to the challenges of carbon neutrality in three areas - resources, technology, and capital investment, CSC set up the Task Force on Energy Saving & Carbon Reduction and Carbon Neutrality in February 2021, which is charged with taking concrete actions on environmental protection and climate change. Furthermore, CSC has set short-, medium-, and long-term paths towards carbon reduction and carbon neutrality with a number of targets, including a 7% reduction in carbon emissions by 2025 compared to 2018 (a 1% reduction in carbon emissions each year), a 22% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2018 (a 3% reduction in carbon emissions each year from 2025 to 2030), and the ultimate goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

 

Sustainability Directives


CSC's performance in environment, social, and governance aligns with the 9 principles outlined in the new Sustainability Charter of the World Steel Association, which includes "climate action," "circular economy," "environmental care," "safety and health," "our people," "local communities," "responsible value chain," "ethics & transparent operations," and "innovation and prosperity." This demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainable development. CSC joined as a signing member in 2022 and is recognized as a leading enterprise in sustainable development within the steel industry worldwide.

CSC revised the "CSC Corporate Social Responsibility Policy" into the "CSC Sustainable Development Policy" in response to the amendment to the Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies, as well as international development trends. The "CSC Corporate Social Responsibility Best Practice Principles" was also amended into the "CSC Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles," increasing contribution to Taiwan's economy, improving quality of life among employees, communities, and society, and enhancing competitive advantage based on sustainable development as a corporate citizen, in order to achieve sustainable development.

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the guiding principles for cross-border cooperation among member countries for the next 15 years. CSC refers to the SDG Selector tool and SDG Compass steps to review the directions and content of CSC's sustainable development policy. Core SDGs contributed by CSC were identified. Furthermore, CSC took into consideration industry and regional characteristics and referenced the “Taiwan Sustainable Development Goals” announced by the National Council for Sustainable Development, Executive Yuan in July 2019 (hereinafter referred to as T-SDGs) to summarize the benefits of CSC's core SDGs.

    Water Resource

    Reduce new water consumption by 46.9%.○

    Note: Based on a water consumption of 130,000 cubic meters per day in 2017 when reclaimed water was yet to be introduced.

    Reduced new water consumption by 54.3%.

    Continue to reduce new water consumption by 46.9% in conjunction with the introduction of Fengshan River and reclaimed water from Linhai Reclaimed Water Plant.

    Note: Based on a water consumption of 130,000 cubic meters per day in 2017 when reclaimed water was yet to be introduced.

    Plan the introduction of (alternative sources of) reclaimed water from Hefa industrial parks, and reduce new water consumption by 54.4%.

    Note: Based on a water consumption of 130,000 cubic meters per day in 2017 when reclaimed water was yet to be introduced.

    Continuously assess the feasibility of consuming 13,000 cubic meters of desalinated seawater per day in a move towards diversification of water sources, with the expectation of reducing new water consumption by 64.4%.

    Note: Based on a water consumption of 130,000 cubic meters per day in 2017 when reclaimed water was yet to be introduced.

    Circular Economy and Co- production between Steel and Petrochemical Plants Establish a pilot production line involving co-production between steel and petrochemical plants that captures 4,900 tonnes of carbon monoxide per year. The pilot plant was completed at the end of September, and commissioning and acceptance was completed in December. Develop carbon monoxide production technology for co-production between steel and petrochemical plants with carbon monoxide concentration >98.5%. Establish a demonstration production line involving co-production between steel and petrochemical plants that reduces carbon emissions by 240,000 tonnes per year.

    Promote the commercial application of co-production between steel and petrochemical plants in Dalinpu to reduce carbon emissions by 2.9 million tonnes.

    Note: Completed before 2040.
