Challenges and Opportunities

Climate change has exacerbated in all regions of the world and has produced wide-range impact on societies and the environment. Therefore, GC has set goal to reduce GHG emission to Net Zero within 2050.

GC has established energy management and climate change strategies to enhance the production process, energy management and energy conservation to achieve optimal efficiency. GC also consider the possibility of utilizing alternative energy to uplift our performance in greenhouse gas reduction while planning to expand the scope of operations to incorporate scope 3 value chain emissions.

Management Approach GRI 3-3 (2021), GRI 302-4 (2016)

Energy Management Process

GC has implemented and certified the energy management system according to ISO 50001 and operated in accordance with the GC Energy Excellence Roadmap in all factories. All GC’s factories have been certified the energy management system according to ISO 50001 by Management System Certification Institute (Thailand); MASCI, which demonstrates efficient energy uses, continuous improvement and strictly adhering to laws and regulations.

GC continuously develop energy conservation programs that the energy efficiency performance plants under GC Group to achieve Top Quartile Performance in Benchmarking. This could reduce energy consumption.
