Energy Target and Performance
Targets
Energy efficiency performance of plants under GC Group to achieve Top Quartile Performance in Benchmarking
Reduce energy consumption by
GJ by 2030
Increase the proportion of alternative energy usage in core activities to more than 7 percent by 2030
Challenges and Opportunities
GC recognizes the importance of the energy transition and its impact on business operations.
As a result, it has developed a plan to manage energy use efficiently through the improvement of work processes, the adoption of advanced technologies to monitor and control energy consumption, and the promotion of energy conservation awareness among employees. Furthermore, GC is exploring the use of renewable energy in its office buildings and plants to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to the promotion of clean energy.
Management Approach GRI 3-3 (2021), GRI 302-4 (2016)
Energy Management Process
GC has implemented and certified the energy management system according to ISO50001:2018 and operated in accordance with the GC Energy Excellence Roadmap in all plants. All GC’s plants have been certified the energy management system according to ISO50001:2018 by Management System Certification Institute (Thailand); MASCI, which demonstrates efficient energy uses, continuous improvement and strictly adhering to laws and regulations.
as well as continuously develops energy conservation programs that the energy efficiency performance plants under GC Group to achieve Top Quartile Performance in Benchmarking. This could reduce energy consumption.
