CPC Corporation, Taiwan (CPC) and Veolia's Apollo Technology (Veolia Group) joined forces to win the "Top Green Companies in Asia Award" at the 2024 ACES (Asia's Corporate Excellence & Sustainability) Awards. This prestigious honor recognizes their outstanding efforts in sustainability, particularly in the implementation of the Green & Sustainable Remediation (GSR) program.
The award ceremony, held from November 14 to 15 at the InterContinental Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, was organized by the ACES Council. The event aimed to celebrate businesses excelling in sustainability, environmental protection, and social responsibility. On the first day, a Sustainability Summit led by Dr. Jayanthi focused on planning sustainable value chains, while the following day’s Leadership Summit, led by Gerald Kong, discussed *The Art of War* strategies. Both summits were exclusive to award recipients, offering opportunities for networking through carefully planned group activities. The awards ceremony took place from 7 to 10 p.m. on November 14.
The ACES Council officially recognized the collaboration between CPC and Veolia, emphasizing their commitment to sustainability and setting a new benchmark for the industry. One of the key achievements highlighted was the successful GSR program at CPC's Hsinchu Fuel Supply Center, which reduced suspended particulate matter emissions by 94%. The program also minimized external soil transport needs, thereby reducing waste transportation and related carbon emissions. These efforts demonstrated their active role in environmental management and resource efficiency, advancing the company’s climate change response strategies.
Additionally, CPC’s collaboration with local academic institutions enhanced the overall effectiveness of the project, fostered community involvement, and created educational opportunities, strengthening the company’s sense of social responsibility. These initiatives have contributed to CPC’s continued improvement in transparency, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.
The theme of the 2024 ACES Awards, "Innovative Sustainable Future," celebrates companies and leaders with visionary and innovative thinking. This year’s awardees are at the forefront of sustainability and transformation, setting new standards for excellence that will inspire other companies to follow their lead. The partnership between CPC and Veolia highlights the important role Taiwanese companies play in the green transformation across Asia.
CPC’s win not only enhances its brand image on the international stage but also injects new momentum into Taiwan’s sustainable development. Going forward, CPC remains committed to supporting Taiwan's social and economic development under the philosophy of "Taking from society, giving back to society," and will continue to play an active role in promoting sustainability.
